Matawan Day was a huge success even though we had to reschedule

it to the raindate of Sun., Oct. 8th!

Thousands of people came out to enjoy the food, bands, entertainment, kids activities, vendor shopping, and visiting with some of their local businesses.

Thank you to all who helped make the day one to remember. A special thanks to our wonderful sponsors, vendors and volunteers and to the Borough of Matawan, Mayor Altomonte & Council Members, Economic Business Development Commission, Police & Fire Departments, Dept. of Public Works, Bayshore EMS, and Cathy Zavorskas, Matawan Community Engagement Coordinator.
