This coming June 2018, the METFEST (formerly known as “Junebug”) transforms into a one-day celebration of the visual and performing arts, embracing a new name that reflects our increased focus on high-end art and music.

For the first time this year, the festival will include two main stages – one at the corner of Hillside and Main Streets and one on the new Woodmont Plaza. Visitors can expect a line-up of indie, rock and folk music performances, including some notable Metuchen bands. More information located on Music page.
