The Arts & Entertainment Committee consists of seven members and two alternate members appointed by the Mayor. The Committee is responsible for planning, developing and implementing entertainment activities as may be approved from time to time by the Mayor and Council.

All concerts held at Oakes Park are paid by donations made by our local businesses.  We thank all our supporters.

Each summer residents from Old Tappan and our neighboring towns have the opportunity to relax and socialize in our beautiful Oakes Park on Central Avenue, all the while listening to wonderful live entertainment.  Some of the bands our guests have enjoyed include the Blend, South Street Station, the New York Hitmen and, of course, London Calling the best Beatles tribute band in the area.

This bands can be quite costly, but we strive to keep our cost range between $800 - $1,000 per band especially since this wonderful concert series is fully funded through the generosity of local sponsors.  Sponsorship is a great opportunity for you to take part in the social and cultural activities in Old Tappan and with our expected strong attendance, your company is sure to receive substantial exposure.  It really is a great way to advertise your business.  You also have an opportunity to have a table at Oakes Park during the concerts at which you can advertise your company.

If you would like to participate or have any questions or need more information on sponsorship, please contact us at [email protected]. 

Thank you to our sponsors for helping keep this concert series alive!
