On Thursdays this month, Ann Van Middlesworth Park is the place to be. Located off of Pleasant View Road in Hillsborough Township, the park is home to Hillsborough’s Music in the Park Concert Series, happening every Thursday in July from 7 o’clock until 8:30pm. Held by the Hillsborough Education Foundation and the township’s Parks and Recreation Department, the series offers Somerset County residents the chance to jam, swing and sway to some of the best sounds of New Jersey.

The music kicked off this week with a performance by SunDog. Over the next month, look forward to rocking sets from the Tone Rangers, Due South and the SummerSwing Orchestra.

Hillsborough Education Foundation (HEF) is a non-profit community-based organization whose mission includes developing educational opportunities and life-long learning for Hillsborough residents. In addition to its annual concert series, HEF hosts “the Taste of Hillsborough,” an occasion to sample foods and drinks from hallmark Hillsborough eateries. This year’s Taste of Hillsborough has been postponed and will be held sometime during Fall 2011.

Hillsborough is home to BestRentNJ.com rental apartments at Beekman Gardens and New Center Greens. Other nearby communities includePike Run Village and Pike Run Meadows, both located in Belle Mead.
