Music on Main St! Optional Guided Hike of Boonton Falls, Gorge & Ironworks!

Main 🎶 Street will be CLOSED 5–10 PM so we can PARTY in the street! Park in the Plane Street parking lot — Boonton Police will be on site directing traffic.

Music begins at 6 PM with live performances by local artists all along Main Street. Enjoy dinner, stroll and shop, grab a coffee and dessert, and spend the evening enjoying everything downtown Boonton has to offer.

Boonton’s Main Street is known for its independent coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques, bakeries, and walkable downtown atmosphere.

Two years ago, we took over a few tables at a random restaurant with a box o’ wine and hung out until they either closed or kicked us out 😄. Although Boonton Main St has a lot of excellent food venues to dine at, most are too small for our group to fit comfortably. The challenge is to find a place that can accommodate us. Last year, we took over the dining room at Roma's, those who didn't desire Italian, dined in one of the other fine establishments located along the street. All but Ombra are BYOB

I’ll also be offering short walking tours of the Boonton Falls & Gorge and the historic Stone Arch Bridge — both are absolute “must sees” if you’re visiting Boonton.

The Boonton Falls

Awesome in both beauty and power, the falls are the very reason the town came into being. Just beyond Main Street’s stone wall is the 25-foot drop in the Rockaway River that became the driving force behind New Jersey’s first iron foundry. The water power generated by the falls and gorge helped shape the growth of Boonton into the town it is today.

The Stone Arch Bridge

Even before Boonton officially became a town, Harper’s Weekly described it in 1860 as “beautifully situated” along the dramatic bluff overlooking the gorge carved by the Rockaway River. More than 160 years later, the stone arch bridge and cascading river remain one of Boonton’s most striking and scenic landmarks.

If you’re interested in checking out these sites, reach out to me. We can meet at the Gazebo in Grace Lord Park.

See you in the street!
