Lord Stirling 1770s Festival

October 15, 2019

On the first Sunday of October every year, Lord Stirling Park celebrates the Lord Stirling 1770s Festival. Colonial craftspeople dress in 1770s attire and provide a glimpse into 18th Century life and New Jersey’s important role in the American Revolution.
