There are tons of things to do in August in New Jersey–you can enjoy outdoor movies and concerts, summer festivals, and the best beach days. After all, summer is not over yet! 

Soak in the sun with a roster of exciting August events, including more than a dozen fairs and festivals. Bring your appetite to food-centric summer festivals like the Just Peachy Festival and the 29th Annual Clam Festival. And mark those calendars for National Night Out on Tuesday, August 6, in Mansfield and several other New Jersey towns.
