Lavallette is gearing up for a signature Jersey Shore tradition as Founders Day 2026 arrives on Saturday, September 12, 2026. The beloved annual celebration invites residents, visitors, and families to gather at the Lavallette Gazebo for an afternoon filled with live music, local talent, and hometown pride.

This year’s event features a six‑act musical lineup, showcasing some of the region’s most recognizable performers. With the bay as the backdrop and the community coming together, Founders Day continues to highlight everything that makes Lavallette such a special place to live and visit.
Founders Day is more than a concert series — it’s a celebration of Lavallette’s history, its people, and the strong community bonds that define the borough. Attendees can enjoy hours of live entertainment, meet neighbors, and take in the warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes this event a local favorite.
Whether you’re stopping by for one performance or spending the entire afternoon at the Gazebo, the festival offers a perfect way to enjoy the late‑summer season at the Jersey Shore.
