In addition to live music, there also will be several family-friendly activities, including kids yoga with Jacquie Ruderman; face painting, sponsored by Aunt Jeans Toys and Treats; kids’ jewelry demonstrations and sales, and much more.

The event is free but donations will be collected to benefit the Sandra Coke Fund. Sandra Coke, sister of Tanya Coke, one of Montclair's most respected community activists, was a beloved community advocate and dedicated federal criminal defense investigator who spent her life helping those in need. Sandra's life was tragically cut short in August 2013. Parents Who Rock and the Montclair community are coming together to show our support for the Coke family. All funds raised by Parents Who Rock will be used solely to help provide for the education and care of Sandra’s teenage daughter.
