Weekend of Apr 10 - Apr 12, 2026

WEEKEND SNAPSHOT

Crisp and classic NJ spring. Highs in the mid-50s, lows dipping into the high-30s. Clear skies for Friday and Saturday, light showers expected late Sunday.

Ongoing utility work on Landing Road continues to cause minor morning delays; plan for an extra 5 minutes at the bridge.

⚡ If You Only Do One Thing

Mainstage Production at The Growing Stage

Saturday, April 11 at 4:00 PM

"Located in the historic Palace Theatre in Netcong (<2 miles from Landing), this venue offers world-class professional theater without the Morristown price tag or parking headache. It is the perfect indoor buffer against the punchy April winds."

PRO TIP: Park in the municipal lot behind the theater rather than searching for street spots on Route 46; it's a 30-second walk and far safer for families.
