Aberdeen and Matawan Day Updates:
Aberdeen Day:

It was a beautiful sunny day for Aberdeen Day as residents and others enjoyed the many festivities around town. 

It was great to see all the chamber members who participated in the vendor portion.
Matawan Day Rescheduled to Oct. 22!
Matawan Day was not so lucky in the weather department as the remnants of Hurricane Ian hit New Jersey for the whole first weekend in October. 

It has been rescheduled to October 22nd (rain date Oct. 23rd). We are happy to announce that we have not lost too many vendors with the date change. 

There are still over 200 vendors, food trucks, local restaurants & businesses to meet, bands, entertainment and activities for the kids so come out and enjoy on the 22nd.
