Englewood, NJ: Culture, Community, and a Full Summer Calendar | July 2026

Englewood's July belongs to bergenPAC. The downtown arts center runs a strong summer concert lineup, the library's summer reading season is in full swing, and the Palisade Avenue dining district stays busy pairing dinner with a show. Here is what is happening this July.

bergenPAC July Lineup

The Bergen Performing Arts Center at 30 N. Van Brunt Street anchors the month with four performances across genres:

• Warrant. Sunday, July 12, 7:00 PM. The 1980s rock band brings its catalog to the bergenPAC stage.
• Swingtime Big Band. Saturday, July 18, 8:00 PM. A full big-band jazz evening.
• Little Feat: The Last Farewell Tour. Saturday, July 25, 8:00 PM. The veteran rock group on its farewell run, one of the summer's marquee shows.
• Annie. Opens Friday, July 31, 7:00 PM, with additional performances into the first weekend of August. The classic family musical closes out the month.

Pairing a pre-show dinner along Palisade Avenue with a bergenPAC performance remains one of the most reliable weekend routines for Bergen County residents. Check bergenpac.org for the full schedule and ticket details.

The Fourth of July

Englewood holds its own free fireworks show in late June, this year on June 30 at the Dwight Morrow High School lawn, so the holiday weekend itself is quieter in town. For fireworks on the Fourth, the main regional option is the Bergen County Star-Spangled Spectacular at the Overpeck County Park Amphitheater in nearby Ridgefield Park on Saturday, July 4, featuring The Sugarhill Gang at 8:15 PM, food trucks, and fireworks at 9:30 PM. Admission is free and the rain date is July 5. The county revised the schedule to a 6:00 PM start because of extreme heat and possible storms, so confirm timing before heading over.

Around Town This Summer

Englewood Public Library The Englewood Public Library at 31 Engle Street runs its summer reading program through July for children, teens, and adults, along with book clubs, film screenings, and cultural programming. The library remains one of the city's most active community spaces, so check its events calendar for specific July dates.

Downtown Dining and Live Music Englewood's restaurant district along Palisade Avenue stays at peak energy in July, with live music nights, themed dinners, and weekend entertainment. The dinner-and-a-show combination with bergenPAC keeps downtown busy on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Flat Rock Brook Nature Center Flat Rock Brook Nature Center adds wooded trails, environmental programs, and family workshops, a good summer counterpoint to the downtown arts scene.
