Community Services & Recreation’s Concerts Under the Stars will begin July 8! All concerts are held at Bubbling Springs, beginning at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday evenings. The concession stand is open for snacks. Bring your lawn chair or blanket and get ready for some great music.

July 8 – “The Rockaholics” - Jimmy The Barber’s Rockaholics, a classic rock band playing songs from the 60s through the 80s, kicks off the series. This four-piece band is an area staple. Their good music and humorous antics make for great family fun!

July 15 – “Streets of the Bronx” - This Do-Wop group is sure to entertain once again with their songs from the 50s and 60s. Featuring Butch Barbella, Jerry Brown, and Bobby Rustici.

July 22 – “The North Jersey Concert Band” - From “Bach to Beatles,” this non-profit orchestra was founded in 2008 by a group of local musicians based in nearby Oakland. This group has something for everyone, military tribute, classical, Broadway show tunes and some great big-band pieces.

July 29 – “Farmer Phil” - A first for West Milford's series. Put your cowboy boots on and get ready to dance. Farmer Phil will have you “tappin your toes” to some good ‘ole country music.

Aug. 12 – "Island Beach Party with Parrot Beach" - It's a tribute to Jimmy Buffet. Put on your Hawaiian shirt, grab a cheeseburger and get ready for Paradise. This unique band takes you to the ultimate vacation destination with their fun island music. This “island happening” will take place right on the beach at Bubbling Springs, just steps away from the gazebo. Shoes are optional!

Aug. 5, 19 and 26 will be used as rain dates, if needed.
