The Quick Chek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning is a three-day festival at Solberg Airport in Readington, NJ on July 25, 26 & 27 that features the most popular and sought after balloons in the country year after year. In 2008, the festival's 26th year, attendance is expected to be around 175,000 people over 3 days. Whether you are 6 or 60, you will be captivated by the magic of hot air balloons.
Besides the balloons, there are other attractions like fireworks, food and all sorts of variety acts and of course, daily musical performances. Last year’s festival featured performances by Chuck Negron (Three Dog Night), Blues Traveler, Jonas Brothers and Credence Clearwater Revisited.
Due to the festival's proximity to NYC, it is the perfect venue to serve as a back drop for a performance in front of talent agents, agencies, etc. International coverage of event makes it a perfect resume builder.
Although submissions are being accepted, please note that with such few performance slots, your chances of making the cut are slim. Very slim. Genres accepted include: Classic Rock, Jazz, Blues, Reggae, Alternative, Oldies, and kids music.
