A Fourth of July Weekend on the Tranquil Green Waves of the Historic Bayshore

This July 4th weekend, Keansburg Recreation invites families from near and far to experience Family Funfest 2026 — a joyful celebration set along the tranquil green waves of the bay where the Great Raritan Lenape once reigned. Come enjoy the serenity of one of New Jersey’s most historic waterfronts, home to the oldest pier in Monmouth County, standing proudly as a reminder of Keansburg’s deep cultural roots.
