The New Jersey Friends of Clearwater Festival takes place on August 31 and September 1 in Asbury Park.

The festival is a cousin of the long-running but now defunct Clearwater Festival, which was co-founded by the late Pete Seeger and his wife, the late Toshi Seeger, and held annually in Westchester County, New York.

“Our group was founded by Bob Killian, who was inspired by the late folk singer and environmentalist Pete Seeger in the early ’70s,” said Chrissie GoedKoop, president of the New Jersey Friends of Clearwater organization, in a press release. “Seeger said, ‘Give them good music and good songs, and while they’re listening, give them good environmental information.’ We think Pete would be proud.”
