New Jersey's North to Shore Festival Brings Out the Stars; ABC's GMA Summer Concert Series 2024

New Jersey's North to Shore Festival, launched in 2023, features all the talent, diversity and creativity that New Jersey has to offer, packed into three extraordinary weekends of performances, screenings, parties and conversations in three of the state's most iconic cities. Currently, the festival is in its Newark stage from June 23-30, with some big events happening this weekend. Comedians Zarna Garg and Gabriel Iglesias have comedy events this Friday (at NJPAC and Prudential Center, respectivley). On Sunday, Kevin Smith and Kevin Hart have comedy shows as well (also at NJPAC and Prudential Center, respectivley). Extending beyond June 30, A Conversation with Stephen Colbert & Paul Giamatti will happen on July 26 at NJPAC.
Hosted by Asbury Park, Atlantic City and Newark, the North to Shore Festival brings together events at more than 100 venues for an over-the-top showcase of Jersey excellence, aligned with Governor Phil Murphy and First Lady Tammy Murphy's vision of a celebration worthy of the Garden State's long legacy of innovation in the arts, film and technology. Alongside the first season’s headliners — which included Jersey-born pop diva Halsey, hip hop legends Eric B. & Rakim, classic rocker Santana, world-famous Latin songwriter Ricardo Arjona, Brazilian superstar Marisa Monte and R&B songstress Jazmine Sullivan — the inaugural festival presented scores of concerts, film screenings, art exhibits and expert panel discussions on innovation in technology, climate-change, healthcare and business, as well as scores of performances and events, many of them free, featuring artists who make their creative home in New Jersey.
