Mother’s Day is Sunday and Red Bank folks won’t even have to go indoors to get mom that Black Sabbath or Motorhead LP she’s always wanted then stock up to prepare her some locally-raised kielbasa and fresh googootz!

The Record Riot outdoor record fair is back on Saturday and the Red Bank Farmers Market re-starts for the season on Sunday.

With a stellar weather forecast for sunshine and temperatures in the 70′ both Saturday and Sunday, you’ll want to scroll down for the details on a wonderful weekend in Red Bank.

SATURDAY: The Red Bank Record Riot, organized by Jack’s Music Shoppe, and Record Riots brings more than 40 vendors of LP’s, CD’s, and cassettes to Mechanic Street, just off Broad Street.

 

 

By the way, if you’re coming from out of town and are wondering about parking, Red Bank RiverCenter and Setaro House just teamed up on a video that highlights all the lots and garages folks from out of town always seem to be driving around in circles cluelessly looking for. They also released the below list.

On Sunday, the seasonal Red Bank Farmer’s Market returns to the parking lot of the Galleria, at the corner of West Front Street and Shrewsbury Avenue. Despite our previous statements, the gagootz is usually not ripe until mid summer, but there will be plenty of other offerings as usual. See you there!
