This event has passed. Jefferson Day 2026 in Oak Ridge ran September 26. For what is happening now, see things to do in Morris County this weekend, fall festivals in Morris County and Halloween events and trick-or-treat times.
Jefferson Township’s biggest community celebration is back. Jefferson Day 2026 returns to the Jefferson Township High School complex at 1010 Weldon Road in Oak Ridge on Saturday, September 26, from 1 to 8 p.m., with food trucks, live music, local vendors, and a drone show to close out the night.
What to expect
The day runs on food, music, and family fun. Live entertainment comes from the band Blame It On the Girl, and the grounds fill with food trucks, dessert and sweet-treat vendors, and rows of local craft and artisan sellers. Community organizations and Morris County businesses set up alongside them, so it doubles as a chance to see who and what is around town.
For younger attendees, the draw is one of the biggest Kids Adventure Zones in New Jersey, a dedicated area of activities built to keep kids busy for hours.
A drone show to close the night
The celebration ends with a drone show lighting up the sky. The day starts at 1 p.m. and the drone show is set for around 8 p.m., a fitting finish to a full afternoon and evening outdoors.
Tickets and what to know
Admission is $5, and children 5 and under get in free. Advance FastPass tickets are available online through the event ticket page. Jefferson Day is produced by Megabite Events in partnership with Jefferson Township, and it takes place on the high school complex off Weldon Road.
