Arts, Eats & Beats: Summer Kickoff Event

About the event

Summer starts here! Join us in the heart of Elizabeth, NJ for a vibrant celebration of creativity, culture, and community. Arts, Eats & Beats brings together talented artisans, unique food vendors, live DJs, and interactive experiences for a day filled with discovery, flavor, and rhythm. Stroll through a lively open-air market featuring handmade goods, local artists, and small businesses showcasing their craft. Taste your way through delicious eats, enjoy live music that keeps the energy flowing, and experience the creative spirit of the city in full motion. More than just a festival, Arts, Eats & Beats is a celebration of artistic expression in all forms — and a chance for the community to come together for a meaningful cause. A portion of proceeds will support sarcoidosis awareness through #StandUpForSarc, honoring those impacted by the disease. Bring your friends, bring your family, and come ready to shop, dance, eat, and celebrate the start of summer. Art. Flavor. Rhythm. Community. Welcome to the Summer Kickoff!
