Westfield FestiFall Street Fair 2025
Can you believe that we are already well into September already? The first day of fall takes place on September 22nd. But our fair town celebrates a day early with its annual Westfield FestiFall Street Fair.
What: Westfield FestiFall Street Fair 2025
Where: Central Ave, Downtown Westfield
When: Sunday, September 21st, from 10 am to 5 pm
Admission: FREE

Westfield FestiFall Street Fair 2025
Every year, FestiFall brings the entire Westfield community together for a day of family-friendly fun. Central Avenue once again becomes the place to be. Live entertainment includes musical performances by 4 Flight Rock, Flannel & Lace, and Valencia. These bands play throughout the day in the Crossroads Beer & Wine Garden. Elsewhere, the NJ Workshop for the Arts also performs live music.
Other fun events include face painting, carnival games, henna tattoos, and an area to create your very own slime. Dozens of local vendors set up their booths along Central Ave. Get a jump on your Christmas shopping by purchasing unique items from local artisans. Several food vendors ensure that no one goes hungry. And the special Kids Zone includes a bouncy castle and interactive workshops geared specifically towards the kids. Plus, back by popular demand, dinosaurs roam the streets of downtown Westfield (both animatronics and puppets). So don’t be surprised if you find yourself followed by a velociraptor.
Tour de Westfield 2025
This weekend, the Tour de Westfield cycles around the town. Unfortunately, registration has closed. So, if you did not register already, you cannot join the ride. However, you may still cheer the cyclists on as they make their way around town.
Sweet Sounds Westfield Encore
While Sweet Sounds Downtown ended last month, organizers decided to continue the live weekly concerts with a Sweet Sounds Westfield Encore. These take place every Friday through the end of September on Quimby St. No seating will be provided. So you might want to bring a lawn chair with you to enjoy the concerts in comfort.
I am grateful to all who entrusted me with your life-changing real estate moves and to all who referred me to your family and friends!

Tour de Westfield 2025
On Sunday, September 14th, hundreds of cyclists of all ages take a quick trip around Westfield. Unlike the Tour de France that treks over 2000 miles of mountainous terrain, the Tour de Westfield only encompasses three miles of fairly even terrain. The day’s events start off with a “learn to ride” class for five to ten-year-olds. Students learn basic safety guidelines as well as cycling techniques. All registered participants must bring their own bike and appropriately-sized helmet with them. After a brief bicycle parade, cyclists begin their three-mile course at South Ave Train Station.
Registration Information
While it costs nothing to participate in the classes, parade, or ride, everyone must register ahead of time. The first 300 people to check in on the day of the ride receive a free commemorative hat. To register, please visit the official Westfield Recreation Department’s website here. You must create an account. But that only takes a couple of minutes. Make sure you register before 4:30 pm on September 11th. Otherwise, you miss your chance to participate.
Union County Home Repair Grants for Seniors
Just a quick reminder. If your Union County home received damage from one of the storms last month, you may be eligible for a grant to pay for those damages. You must be at least 62 years old, own a Union County home, and meet specific requirements to be eligible. Each grant may be worth as much as $10,000.
