Holmdel Community Cleanup

Holmdel families, friends, and neighbors are invited to roll up their sleeves and come out on Saturday, October 19 to participate in the town-wide Holmdel Community Cleanup. Meet at 9 am at the Holmdel Community Center, where you can pick up your supplies and be assigned a cleanup location in the township to help keep Holmdel beautiful. Dress for the weather and bring gloves.

Student volunteers seeking service hours will receive a form at the end of their shift and must be supervised by an adult at all times.

Halloween Senior Social

Holmdel residents ages 62 and better are invited to a hauntingly good time at the Halloween Senior Social, to be held on Tuesday, October 29 from 12 to 2 pm at the Holmdel Community Center. Admission is free and guests will enjoy lunch, bingo, a costume contest, and more.

Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular Bus Trip

Kick up your heels and make a day of it for a bus trip to see the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular in New York City on Friday, November 8. The bus will leave the Holmdel Community Center at 11 am for the 2 pm performance, arriving early enough in the city to allow time to enjoy the area before the show. Return time is approximately 6 pm.

Bring the family to see the world-famous Rockettes, the Living Nativity, Santa’s ride to the North Pole, and more. Tickets, priced at $110 per person, include round-trip luxury bus transportation and will be distributed at departure. This show always sells out fast, so make your reservations quickly. 

Veterans Day Ceremony

On Monday, November 11 at 10:30 am, all are invited to honor all military members who have served in all wars at the annual ceremony hosted by the Holmdel VFW and the Holmdel Recreation Office. The ceremony will be held at Veterans Memorial Park, off of Telegraph Hill Road. Light refreshments will be served afterwards.
