The Spin Doctors Perform In Carteret This Weekend, Plus Carnival

CARTERET, NJ — Carteret will hold its annual Children’s Charity Carnival, Ethnic Day and four-day Music Festival beginning this Thursday, September 19 and running through Sunday, September 22.

The carnival and music concert will be held in Carteret Park, and don't forget! As Patch previously told you, '90s rock band The Spin Doctors ("Two Princes" and "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong") will be headliners on Saturday night. This is a free concert; the entire area is invited. The Spin Doctors take the stage at 8 p.m.

The Carnival, which benefits the Mayor’s Children’s Charity Trust Fund, will feature rides, games, food, live music, vendors and attractions for families.

“The annual Charity Carnival and Music Festival is a great time each year for families to come together and end the summer season with four days of fun,” said Carteret Mayor Dan Reiman.

Thursday is Bracelet Night, featuring unlimited rides with the purchase of a bracelet (age and height restriction apply) from 6 p.m – 10 p.m. and the music of DJ Irwin from Night Vision.

Friday is the second Bracelet Night from 6 p.m. – 11 p.m. and will feature MC Willie Will and the Latin Mix Masters DJ crew and a live performance by international recording artists Bachata Heightz from 9 pm – 11 pm.

On Saturday, September 21, Mayor Reiman and the borough of Carteret will host Ethnic Day, an annual celebration of Carteret’s diverse community, featuring food from many different countries and cultures. Each year, Ethnic Day features a headlining act with national significance. This year’s featured act is The Spin Doctors, whose hits "Two Princes" and "Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong" propelled them to the top of the popular music charts, and landed them an appearance on Saturday Night Live.

The Spin Doctors have toured the world performing since 1991 and are excited to perform at Carteret’s Ethnic Day this year! Rich Hennessey will open for the Spin Doctors at 7 p.m. The concert will be immediately followed by a spectacular fireworks display at 9:15 p.m.

Mayor Reiman’s Charity Carnival will conclude on Sunday from 3 p.m. – 9 p.m. with a live performance by one of the most popular and dynamic cover bands in New Jersey, Garden State Radio.
