Spring into April with a jam-packed schedule of things to do, including festivals, shows, Earth Day, and outdoor fun. 

Signs of spring are popping up everywhere this April, and you can revel in the season at festivals like the Kites at the Pier in Long Branch, in which a dazzling display of giant kites is visible for miles. Or, admire the flowering trees and enjoy family-friendly events during the Essex County Cherry Blossom Festival, which is held over two consecutive weekends.

This month also includes some great Earth Day festivals, including one in Cape May where the theme is "Planet vs. Plastics." 

Read on for all our little tips for big fun this April. 

We’re adding more events to our Family Activity Calendar every day, so don’t forget to check it frequently.
