And there is much more!

From Music in the Plaza to the Queen City Project and a Teen Escape Room, there is no shortage of fun to be had in the Queen City.

Queen City, Queen City, the Street Fair was everything! This past Saturday, August 19^th, all roads again led to North Avenue and Gavett Place as we threw the Block Party of the Year! There was food, music, dancing, carnival games, and fun rides like the Tumbleweed,  Meltdown, the Ferris wheel, a Rock Climbing Wall, and even a Mechanical Bull. We also had the mystery of our Fortune Teller, Madame Victoria; our Stilt Walkers and Clown, and even Sparkee, the Mascot of the Somerset Patriots, came out to show us some Love.  

The music was non-stop, with beats from around the world, showcasing our beautiful diversity through music. Hats off to our talented DJs - DJ Troy, DJ Seriuss, and DJ Zack Attack. They kept the streets dancing into the night.

The Love Plainfield Arts Competition 2023 awarded prizes to our winners for their depiction of “Plainfield Through Your Eyes.” The winners all received an Apple iPad donated by our sponsors JCT Solutions, A leading technology provider in the Tri-State area, and other Love Plainfield Swag.

The talented winners were Elizabeth Garcia (Grade PreK-2); Gabriela Perlera (Grade 3-5); Shenny Chach (Middle School); Taylor Levertt (High School); and Shaimaa Ibrahim (Adults). Shaimaa also won the   Mayor’s Choice Award for her beautiful artwork. Thank you to all the participants for their amazing artistic expressions! The Queen City is overflowing with talent, and we hope to see more of it highlighted in our 2024 Love Plainfield Art Competition as we continue to shine a light on our undiscovered artists.

This summer has truly been one to remember as we kicked off the first-ever Queen City Street Fair and doubled down to bring it twice in one year. It indicates how much fun we can have right here in our beautiful city. The love you show to our Queen City comes right back to you. Let’s continue to support all that Plainfield has to offer. Have and WONDERFUL and SAFE remainder of the summer.
