Celebrate All Things New Jersey At This One-Of-A-Kind Festival In The Garden State

Ah, New Jersey. Is there anything we can't do around the Garden State? We might be a small state, but it always amazes outsiders just how diverse our economy is. New Jersey manages to be an agricultural hub, an industrial hub, a culinary and shopping destination, and still has enough room to host countless small businesses and artisans. It would take much more than one festival to show off all the great local New Jersey goods - but we're still going to try! The Made in Jersey festival, a new event celebrating its second year on September 30th in Camden at the Wiggins Park Marina, will fill the park with local vendors and small businesses offering the best of New Jersey-made food, drink, goods, and other surprises. Come on down, discover all that New Jersey has to offer, and bring your Garden State pride!

If you look into one area or another, the odds are you'll find a New Jersey original - but it's rare to see them all in one place!

That's where the Made in Jersey Festival in Camden comes in, spotlighting dozens of small businesses and local artisans selling authentic Jersey goods.

Of course, New Jersey's great food is on full display. You might just find your next favorite snack here, like these candied pecans.

Or maybe some Tuna Candy? This sweet-and-smoky tuna jerky is the kind of innovation that could only come out of the Garden State.

Of course, it wouldn't be a New Jersey festival without a visit from some of the state's best local wineries and breweries.

It's not just about the food and drink - jewelers and woodworkers will both be selling their unique artistic creations here.

The event, taking place from 11 AM to 6PM, will be full of music and activities that will be fun for all ages.
