A yearly favorite for residents of Central New Jersey, the 2022 Sourland Mountain Festival will take place on July 23 from 3 to 8:30 p.m. at Unionville Vineyards in Ringoes. 

The event aims to bring together the best in local musical talent, food, and drink. It’s also a great family-friendly event where attendees are welcome to bring their own lawn chairs and blankets to sit back and enjoy the views of the Sourland Mountains. A zero-waste event, organizers ask that attendees reduce packaging and garbage by reusing, recycling, and composting as much as possible. Food and drink vendors will be using compostable cups and plates. Guests and volunteers should bring their own water bottles, which they can refill on site. 

Tickets are limited to the first 1,000 sold. Proceeds benefit the preservation of the Sourland region, which is currently under the threat of losing one million trees due to the emerald ash borer. Adult admission is $30 ($40 at the door), $10 for ages 12-18 ($15 at the door), and children ages 12 and under are free. Visit https://sourlandmountainfest.com/tickets to purchase. 

Unionville Vineyards is located at 9 Rocktown Road in Ringoes. In conformity with current CDC guidelines, outdoor attendees and performers are not required to wear a mask.
