Fun Things To Do In Ridgewood NJ This Summer

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty

There is so much to do in Ridgewood all year round.   Here are a few quick ideas to get you out of the house this summer.

Take in a live concert at the Ridgewood Kasschau Memorial Shell.

If you haven't been to an outdoor concert at "The Shell" you don't know what you are missing.  Make sure to bring a chair and some blankets.  I would recommend the Rio Clemente Jazz Concert on July 29th. See video above. Call 201.444.1776 for more info.

Take the family for some ice cream in Ridgewood's Downtown.

There are no shortage of great spots for ice cream here in Ridgewood.  I have a feeling if you asked most folks in town they would vote for Van Dyke's but my favorite is Maggie Moo's and the rest of my family agrees.  Ben And Jerry's and Haagen-Dazs are right up there too and they are all located in Ridgewood.

Stop by the Farmer's Market at the Ridgewood Train Station.

The farmers market is open on Sundays from June 29th to October 26 from 9am - 3pm.  It is located at the Ridgewood Train Station.  The Ridgewood Farmers Market features fresh produce, bakery items and all types of gourmet foods.  You can get more info by calling 201.445.2600.

Take a refreshing swim.

Ridgewood's Graydon Pool is a town favorite.  It's not your typical 5ft deep rectangular, concrete pool.  It looks like a large, natural pond and has wooden rafts anchored in various places in the pool for children to jump off and it also has a great snack shop.  It is conveniently located just a couple blocks from Ridgewood's Downtown.

Pamela - Thanks very much.  I just read your list of restaurants and am going to have to break down and try Kinchleys since I have heard so much about it - and I love pizza (as if there is someone who doesn't).

Do you live in Ridgewood too?
