Load up your calendar with dozens of FREE events taking place throughout June in New Jersey, because there's no reason summer fun has to come with a big price tag. As the days get longer, under-the-stars movies, carnivals, and other activities fill your summer roster without emptying wallets.

Swing by local fairs like West Orange Street Fair, or kick back at evening events like Wildwood Boardwalk Friday Night Fireworks.

Read on for this month's picks! For more free and low-cost fun, check out our Ultimate New Jersey Kids Summer Vacation Guide.
