There are few things that bring people together like music. Some of my best memories in high school are of going to shows and creating memories with new friends. The shared love of a band is a great icebreaker.
When I finally entered my twenties, a whole new world opened up to me as I became eligible to see live music at local bars and clubs. Going to see a band is one of my favorite activities and it breaks up the routine of just ‘bar hopping’ every weekend. You never know what the night will bring, but no matter what, it’s always fun and entertaining! It’s great to follow bands around the area, because you start seeing familiar faces and building connections just by going to shows. I’ve created some great relationships over the years by meeting other fans at live events.

Shad Fest Returns This Weekend
This weekend marks the 31st annual Shad Fest in Lambertville. The festival began in 1981 as a method of highlighting the great local art that Lambertville and New Hope have to offer. It coincided with the first blooms of Spring and the annual shad run. The festival has grown from a local celebration to an award-winning regional event.
OK, so first things first: What is a shad? The American Shad is the largest fish in the herring family. Every spring, shad migrate from salt water to fresh water to reproduce. Fishermen call this the “annual spring shad run.”
Shad Fest offers a fantastic variety of family, fun, art, food, culture, and (yes) shad. (It’s OK if you don’t like seafood, because there is a great variety of food at the fest!)
