Clearwater Festival Slated for Sept. 12 at Brookdale

Atlanticville:

The 40th Annual NJ Friends of Clearwater Festival (originally known as The Clearwater Festival at Sandy Hook) will take place Sept. 12 on the campus of Brookdale Community College in Lincroft.

Bob Killian will be honored for founding the festival and the late Pete Seeger will also be honored for founding The Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, the mother organization for the festival.


The festival’s ‘Pete’s Gang’ concert will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation Meeting House, 1475 West Front St., Lincroft, beginning at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 13. The group’s members were instrumental in helping Killian found the Monmouth County Friends of Clearwater and the festival.

There will be songs and stories of the legendary folk singer by members of the Hudson River Sloop Singers and friends, some who sang and worked with Seeger for more than 40 years. The concert will be followed by an open mic. Bring your Seeger songs

Admission; adults $10, children 12 and under $5. For information, call 732-747-0707 or visit www.uucmc.org.
