Asbury News

Asbury Park is the undisputed music capitol of New Jersey, and not just because it was ground zero for the start of Bruce Springsteen's career in the early Seventies.

For 56 years the Jennie M. Haver Scholarship Fund has been awarding Hunterdon High School County students scholarships to pursue higher education.

In recent years, Adam Cruz bought a ticket to the Bamboozle Festival, a multi-day music event held in the parking lot of Giants Stadium in northern New Jersey, cheering, sweating and moshing with tens of thousands of other fans.

Asbury Park seems to be weathering the second day of the Bamboozle invasion without incident.

What's billed as the largest beach concert in the United States gets under way in New Jersey at 5 p.m. Friday.

Putting on the Bamboozle Festival, the largest beach concert in the United States, is a feat of detail management: coordinating more than 100 performers, determining where to fit 30,000 fans each night, reinforcing a historic boardwalk so it won't sag under the weight of the crowd.

The Bamboozle Festival is celebrating its 10 th anniversary this Friday through Sunday with a beach blast in Asbury Park, marking a proper return to the multi-faceted concert event's original home.

Ninety thousand people are expected to gather on the beaches and boardwalks of Asbury Park for this year's Bamboozle Festival.

The Bamboozle 2012 festival is less than two weeks away, and to prepare for the almost 90,000 music fans that will be trekking to Asbury Park, city and concert officials are letting the residents know what to expect.
