Morristown’s Living History Weekend is back on the calendar for Saturday, November 7, and Sunday, November 8, 2026, after the original September dates were cut short by a nor’easter. The rescheduled weekend brings a Revolutionary-era encampment, open houses at downtown historic sites, the postponed fireworks and a Sunday afternoon concert, all as part of Morris County’s celebration of America’s 250th, organized through the Morris County Tourism Bureau’s Morris County 250th program.
A few details are still being finalized by the organizers, including the encampment location, so we will keep this page updated as the schedule fills in.
Saturday, November 7: Encampment and Historic Site Open Houses
Saturday is the main history day. Revolutionary War reenactors will set up an encampment in the center of town, with the exact spot to be announced. In September, the encampment was planned for the Morristown Green.
Downtown historic sites are also planning open houses and tours. Sites named so far include:
- Macculloch Hall Historical Museum
- The Sansay House
- The Presbyterian Church in Morristown
The organizers ask visitors to contact each site directly before going, since hours and availability for the new date are still being confirmed.
Saturday, November 7: The Fireworks Are Back
The Sanofi-sponsored fireworks that were rained out in September are now set for Saturday evening. The Morris County Tourism Bureau lists the display for 5 to 6 p.m. on November 7, with viewing from Pioneers’ Plaza on Speedwell Avenue and Cauldwell Park at Clyde Potts Drive and Flagler Street. With sunset just before 5 p.m. in early November, an early show makes sense, so plan to arrive a little ahead of time.
Parking near both viewing areas is very limited. If you can walk from downtown, do it.
Sunday, November 8: The Righteous Brothers in Concert
The weekend wraps up Sunday at 3 p.m. with The Righteous Brothers’ Lovin’ Feelin’ Farewell Tour at the Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown. Expect the hits, including “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’,” “Unchained Melody” and “Rock and Roll Heaven.” This is a ticketed show, separate from the free Saturday programming.
