Festivals for Fall Fun in New Jersey’s Heartland
As we adapt to the ever-changing times, it brings joy to see the adaptability and creativity of New Jersey’s Heartland. Events and gatherings, both online and in-person, are keeping our community active and vibrant. From the public reopening of WheatonArts this past Saturday to this weekend’s Virtual High Vibe Festival and New Jersey’s first socially distanced wine festival, the good news is resounding!
Virtual High Vibe Festival
Lift your spirits and raise your vibration! The virtual High Vibe Festival is set to take place on Sunday, September 27th from 2:00 pm – 7:00 pm. This free event is hosted by Delta E.M. Wellness.
With the recent passing of Albert Appel, the founder of Appel Farm Arts Camp, New Jersey’s Heartland will present a posthumous Heartland Hero Award for Albert Appel to his granddaughter, Ariel.
Ariel organized this event to help raise the collective global vibration while also raising funds for Appel Farm, Doctors Without Borders, and for the artists, participants, and staff of the event. It will also serve to highlight the arts and music community including family and friends of artists, and to bring helpful resources to artists and their loved ones!
