Iron Ranch Stables 3rd Annual Easter Event
📍 Iron Ranch Stables
📅 Saturday, March 28 | 11 AM – 2 PM
One of the better family Easter events in South Jersey, this farm day is packed with activities for kids and a solid setup for parents to hang out too. Expect pictures with the Easter Bunny, pony rides, a petting zoo, and even a chance to paint a pony, which is always a hit.
The event also includes a food truck on site, so you can make a full afternoon out of it instead of bouncing around to multiple spots. The egg hunts are broken up by age group, which makes it way less chaotic and actually enjoyable for younger kids.
💡 Pro tip: Get there early if you want shorter lines for pony rides and photos.

Rancocas Woods Craft & Antique Show
📍 Rancocas Woods Village

If you’re looking for something a little different next weekend, this is one of the more unique outdoor markets in South Jersey. Set in the historic Rancocas Woods Village, this monthly event brings together a mix of local artisans, vintage finds, antiques, and handmade goods.
It’s not just shopping either—there will be live music, food trucks, kids crafts, and a beer garden, making it an easy spot to spend a few hours whether you’re going solo, with friends, or bringing the family.
💡 This one has more of a relaxed, walk-around vibe compared to traditional craft fairs—great for browsing and discovering something unexpected.
🌧️ Rain or shine

Crawfish & Jazz Festival – A Taste of New Orleans
📍 Washington Lake Park
📅 Saturday, April 18 | 11 AM – 7 PM
If you’re looking for a full-day festival to circle on the calendar, this is one of the bigger spring events coming to South Jersey. Washington Lake Park is turning into a full-on New Orleans-style celebration with live music, food, drinks, and a ton of energy throughout the day.
Expect live brass bands, jazz, and Zydeco music from groups like Street Beat Brass and The Gumbo Gumbas, plus a full lineup of food vendors serving everything from crawfish and Cajun specialties to seafood, waffles, lobster, and desserts.
It’s not just food and music either—there will be a beer garden with Hurricanes (the classic Mardi Gras cocktail), sangria, margaritas, and more, along with vendors, kids activities, and even a Mardi Gras-themed decorating contest for food trucks and booths.
💡 This is the kind of event you come hungry for and stay all afternoon.
🎟️ $7 presale | $10 at the door | Under 5 free
Real Estate Corner

Featured Home of the Week
Barrington, New Jersey
The Property
2 Bed / 1 Bath
~1,060 sq ft
Updated roof, HVAC, siding & bathroom
Basement for storage or future finishing
Single-family home
This week’s featured home is a move-in ready property listed at $299,000, making it one of the better value opportunities currently on the market in South Jersey.
Why Barrington?
Barrington is one of those towns that people don’t always think of first—but once they discover it, they don’t want to leave.
👉 Super convenient location — minutes to major highways and an easy commute to Philly
👉 Close to Haddon Heights, Haddonfield, and all the restaurants + downtown spots people love
👉 Strong sense of community with local events, sports, and family-friendly feel
👉 More affordable than neighboring towns while still giving you that same South Jersey vibe
It’s a great entry point if you’ve been priced out of some of the surrounding areas.
Why This Home Stands Out
👉 Major updates already done = less money out of pocket upfront
👉 Affordable price point for a single-family home
👉 Ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone tired of renting
This isn’t just a house—it’s a smart buy in a town that continues to grow in demand.
Want photos, full details, or a private showing?
Reply “HOME” and I’ll send you everything + help you get in to see it before it’s gone.
That’s a wrap on this week’s lineup —
Whether you’re hitting a food crawl, catching live music, or planning ahead for some of the bigger spring events, there’s no shortage of things going on right now.
And if something caught your eye—don’t wait. The best events (and even the best homes 👀) tend to go quick this time of year.
We’ll be back next week with more local events, hidden gems, and everything you need to make the most of your weekend.
👉 If you enjoyed this, share it with a friend who’s always asking “what should we do this weekend?”
Cheers!
