Located right outside of The Wellmont Theater, the new Wellmont Arts Plaza has hosted numerous live events on its built-in stage since its completion, including MONTCLAIR JAZZ FEST, Happy Fest, Montclair Jamfest and more. Last year’s Outdoor Concert Series attracted music fans from all over who brought a chair, grabbed a drink and enjoyed free entertainment in the heart of the town. Taking full advantage of the convenient location and
walkability of the plaza and its stage, the upcoming series of outdoor concerts seeks to entertain New Jersey residents with a fun, accessible way to enjoy free live music in Downtown Montclair.
