A Family Concert….With A Little Bit of Science

Looking for a perfect family activity for every generation? Come to Beetle Mania, a celebration of both The Beatles’ music and beetle science on Sunday, July 24, rain or shine, at The Frelinghuysen Arboretum in Morris Township.

Learn about four garden variety beetles while celebrating the 1960s iconic band, The Beatles.

It all begins at 1 p.m. with a variety of beetle-centric learning stations. Drop in at any of them to learn about beetle metamorphosis, good and bad beetles for your garden, and the “green” dung beetle. Make a craft, or two.  

The Robert Murdock Band’s: "British Invasion" Tribute – Beatle Mania begins at 4 p.m. on the Great Lawn. What better endorsement for a British Invasion Tribute band than opening for Ringo Starr? Don’t miss the Band’s remarkable performances of The Beatles’ songs encompassing the entire British Invasion era!            

What a fabulous, family-friendly way to enjoy your Fab Four favorites! Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy on the lovely grounds or delight in the special refreshments that are available for purchase.            

All activities are included in the price of admission. Tickets are $5 for children, $10 for adults. A Family Four Pack may be purchased for $25. Tickets may be purchased at The Frelinghuysen Arboretum on the day of the event or may be purchased at the Arboretum’s Haggerty Education Center or Mennen Sports Arena, or on- line at www.arboretumfriends.org. 

Bring a blanket, a picnic lunch, or even a few lawn chairs and enjoy a fabulous day at The Frelinghuysen Arboretum. The event is rain or shine.            

Beetle Mania is an offering of ArTboretum, a joint initiative of The Morris County Park Commission and the Arts Council of the Morris Area, presented through the generosity of The Friends of The Frelinghuysen Arboretum.
