Here's What Makes Our Neighborhoods So Special
Our Farmer's Markets
The Collingswood Farmers Market is one of the oldest and largest markets around. Every Saturday morning from May to November, local farmers and artisan vendors sell fresh produce, meats, eggs, cheeses, baked goods, flowers, coffee, jams, specialty foods, and more. Live music and community events add to the experience. Haddonfield (Saturday) and Haddon Heights (Sunday) also have weekly farmers markets from late Spring to early Fall. Barrington has a monthly farmers market with food vendors, crafters and a more “hang out and chill” vibe. Year-round, locals can get fresh farm produce from nearby Springdale Farms in Cherry Hill or Duffield’s Farm in Sewell.
Hometown Gatherings
Our area is known for its hometown gatherings and vibrant downtowns. Throughout the year, residents enjoy Second Saturdays in Collingswood, when Haddon Avenue comes alive with music, artists and local crafts. Oaklyn's Final Fridays bring neighbors together for community fun and entertainment. The Haddonfield Crafts & Fine Art Festival showcases talented artists from across the region, while the Collingswood Book Festival celebrates readers, writers, and literacy. In Haddon Township, annual events like the HT Pride parade and Lions Club Halloween parade are popular. But Collingswood's annual May Fair remains the granddaddy of them all, drawing thousands of visitors each spring.
Parks and Recreations
There's an abundance of parks for outdoor enthusiasts. Cooper River Park is one of South Jersey’s premier recreation destinations, offering scenic trails, boating, playgrounds, and world-class rowing facilities. The park hosts major events including the Dad Vail Regatta and Dragon Boat Festival, and Camden County’s summer concert series. Knight Park in Collingswood features walking paths, playgrounds, sports field, a picnic pavilion as well as Movies Under the Stars in the summertime. Haddon Lake Park offers a picturesque lake, fishing pier, trails, playgrounds, and an outdoor amphitheater at the Haddon Dell that hosts summer concerts and family entertainment programs. Newton Lake Park features kayaking, walking trails, and several popular fishing spots.
Arts and Music
There is a vibrant arts and entertainment scene year-round. Live music ranges from nationally known and emerging performers at the Scottish Rite Auditorium in Collingswood to free outdoor concerts at Haddon Lake Park's Dell and the Cooper River Twilight Concert Series. Haddon Township's annual Summer Solstice Music Festival showcases local musicians. While Symphony in C, which began as the Haddonfield Symphony, continues to provide world-class orchestral performances and music education. Theater lovers and local thespians enjoy productions at the Oaklyn’s Ritz Theatre Company, the Village Playbox in Haddon Heights, and Haddonfield Plays & Players, while fine arts thrive through exhibitions, classes, and workshops at the Markeim Arts Center and Perkins Center for the Arts .
Local Food and Pub Scene

Our Rich History
With historic Philadelphia right across the River, our area was a revolutionary hub, 250 years ago. Both The Battle of Gloucester and The Battle of Red Bank were two major skirmishes that had troops marching through parts of, what is now, Mount Ephraim, Audubon, and Haddon Heights. This area soon became a well familiarized route in Camden County known as Kings Highway. In Haddonfield, the Indian King Tavern was where the New Jersey Legislature met and adopted the Great Seal of New Jersey in 1777. Both the Croft Farm (Cherry Hill) and the Peter Mott House (Lawnside) were part of the Underground Railroad; where freedom seekers escaping slavery could find safe shelter.
