RED BANK: SKYWATCH FOR WEEKEND EVENTS

Xol Azul Band, seen here playing last year’s Porchfest at the Fortune Cultural Center, is scheduled to reprise the gig Sunday, one day after a scheduled headline appearance at the Hispanic Heritage Celebration in Riverside Gardens Park. (redbankgreen photo. Click to enlarge.)

hot topicIt’s eyes-on-the-sky time as four outdoor events dominate Red Bank’s dance card this weekend.

For two, it’s a matter of avoiding a second straight rainout Saturday, while the outlook is clearer, and sunnier, for two others slated for Sunday.

Here’s the lineup, and the weather outlook:

SATURDAY

Red Bank RiverCenter‘s first-ever Oktoberfest, which was to have taken place this past Sunday, has been reslotted to its rain date of Saturday, September 30, from 1 to 5 p.m.

The event, featuring locally made beers and liquors, takes place in Edmund Wilson Plaza, between Triumph Brewing Company and the Two River Theater on Bridge Avenue. Details can be found here.

• The second annual Hispanic Heritage Celebration, also was rescheduled from last weekend to its rain date. Featuring live music (including the busy Xol Azul Band), food and more, the festival is scheduled to run from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. in Riverside Gardens Park on West Front Street. Details can be found here.

As of early Thursday, the National Weather Service forecast a 40-percent chance of rain Saturday; the Weather Channel had the chance of rain at 60 percent.

SUNDAY

•  The townwide music festival Porchfest‘s second annual edition apparently will enjoy conditions much like the first: abundantly sunny skies. Here’s an interactive map showing the locations of 25 stages across town, who’s playing on them and when, and bike routes between them.

Broadwalk, the seasonal car-free dining and shopping plaza on the northern end of Broad Street, ends its fourth summer.
