It’s Wednesday! No such thing as a mid-week slump when Independence Day is tomorrow and a long weekend stretches ahead for most of you.

One of my favorite things about Fairplex is the versatility of the entire venue. Today, teens with bright colored hair and tatted up arms fill the infield while band after band rocks out all day (and night!) at Vans Warped Tour. The stages line the outskirts of the infield and clothing, food and music vendors…
We have a lot going on at Fairplex right now. In just a few hours, Vans Warped Tour will be kicking off their second day of concerts. It’s just the beginning of a weekend long celebration of the longest day of the year! We hope you’re ready to celebrate because there is too much happening…
