Morristown Partnership and Morris Arts host a summer event that promotes arts and culture, as well as the downtown economy. 

“This year we are back to a full four-month schedule, beginning in May, partnering with Morris Arts to bring the community together for this much-anticipated event," said Jennifer Wehring, executive director at the Morristown Partnership. “By combining our business and arts communities, Meet Me in Morristown promotes our downtown, fosters entrepreneurship, highlights area artists and promises a lively and fun night out for everyone,” Wehring added.

Meet Me in Morristown will transform the downtown into a center for art, music and fun with artists and performers. Select visual artists will showcase and sell their artwork while Morristown businesses remain open later and host sidewalk sales and demonstrations by their businesses.

On May 26, our first featured band of the MMiM series, Fish Eyed Blues will perform on the Morristown Green. Fish Eyed Blues plays a variety of blues/rock music including Stones, Creme, Hendrix, Clapton, Wilburys, ZZ Top, Allman Brothers, BB King and more. Opening for them will be The Flipcharts.

“We are so excited to bring back a full season of Meet Me in Morristown” said Tom Werder, executive director at Morris Arts. “This unique partnership of local businesses, government, artists and arts organizations is a great example of how Morris Arts fulfills its mission to build community through the arts.”

All activities will operate in compliance with state public-health guidelines, as well as local directives.
