Recapping the Fun-Filled Denville After Dark Summer Events in Downtown Denville!

A summer to remember in Downtown Denville. Denville’s After Dark events, which took place on July 28th and August 18th, turned the heart of Downtown Denville into a vibrant hub of excitement and entertainment.

From 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM on these special nights, Broadway, the main street of Downtown Denville underwent a remarkable transformation, offering an array of attractions to keep everyone delighted. From family-friendly activities to an inviting outdoor bar, live music that sets the perfect mood, and shops extending their hours, Denville After Dark had it all.

July 28th: A Sizzling Success

The July 28th event was an absolute hit, drawing crowds to a captivating hot dog eating contest that featured hotdogs generously provided by the beloved local business, Denville Dog. Children reveled in the refreshing water features, while the daring had a blast dunking their friendly neighborhood dentists at the Denville Dental Group dunk tank. And that’s not all – Downtown Denville BID also hosted an exciting tricky tray and raffle, which showcased fantastic prizes from various local Downtown Denville establishments.

August 18th: A Cool Night of Competition

Mother Nature graced us with a perfectly crisp and cool summer evening on Friday, August 18th. The highlight of the night was the thrilling pickleball tournament, made possible through Lakeland Hills YMCA. It was a fantastic opportunity for residents and visitors alike to engage in friendly competition and showcase their pickleball prowess.

Both events featured the lively ambiance of an outdoor mobile bar, Jack and Julep, serving up refreshing drinks that perfectly complemented the summer atmosphere. The crowd was kept grooving all evening by the dynamic performances of the live band, Lurker Park. A heartfelt shoutout goes to our generous sponsors, including Lakeland Hills YMCA, Sheeran Real Estate, Peer Hyatt Selling Team, Denville Dental Group, Hunan Taste, Lakeland Bank, Norman Dean, and Evolve Med Spa.
