Verona Summer Concert Series Brings Tribute Acts and Local Favorites Outdoors

Verona is tuning up for a summer of outdoor music, with its 2026 concert calendar bringing a mix of tribute acts, classic-rock energy and community favorites to town from June through August.

The season is expected to open with The Nerds on June 17 for a pool preseason concert. The schedule then continues in July with Here's Elton on July 10, Big Hix Band on July 15, Best of the Eagles on July 22 and Super Trans Am on July 29. The John McDermott Band is listed for August 12.

For Cedar Grove and Verona families, the series offers an easy summer-night outing close to home: bring a chair or blanket, meet neighbors and catch live music without a long drive or ticketed venue. As with most outdoor municipal events, residents should check the township calendar before heading out in case weather, access rules or start times change.

One listing notes that the July 29 Super Trans Am pool concert is scheduled for 7 p.m. and is limited to Verona residents who are pool members. Other concerts are listed at 600 Bloomfield Avenue, the township's municipal campus.

The lineup leans into familiar crowd-pleasers, from Elton John and Eagles tributes to high-energy party-band sets. That variety gives the series a broad appeal for families, longtime concertgoers and anyone looking for a simple way to enjoy a warm evening in town.
