Things To Do in New Jersey This Weekend: March 27-March 29

This weekend in New Jersey has plenty to offer. For three days in East Rutherford, you can experience the flavors, culture, and entertainment from the Dream Asia Food Festival. In Edison, the Heart of Oneness Holistic Expo will provide a weekend of wellness and connection. And in Red Bank, "Ain't Misbehavin'" swings into the Basie Center with the timeless music of Fats Waller. 

Dream Asia Festival returns to East Rutherford, featuring three days of Asian food, culture, and entertainment. The festival showcases 80-plus food vendors alongside merchandise and anime creator booths, live performances, and hands-on cultural activities for all ages. Whether you come for the cuisine, the shows, or the atmosphere, the event offers a wide-ranging celebration of Asian culture in one destination.

The Heart of Oneness Holistic Expo brings together healers, thought leaders, and seekers at New Jersey's leading indoor wellness conference. The event features curated speakers, immersive workshops, and exhibitors focused on holistic living and practical application. Organizers describe wellness as multidimensional, encompassing mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being, and say transformation becomes sustainable when those elements align. The expo connects attendees with practitioners devoted to conscious living and personal growth.

The Tony Award-winning musical revue "Ain't Misbehavin'" comes to The Vogel at the Basie Center Campus in Red Bank this weekend. Directed by Richard Maltby Jr., the show celebrates the music of Thomas "Fats" Waller, who rose to fame during the Cotton Club era. Though not a biography, the production captures Waller's humor and energy through the songs he made famous, spanning Harlem clubs, Tin Pan Alley, and Hollywood.

The weekend is calling, and New Jersey is answering loud and clear. Saturday's lineup spans acrobatics, rap, and stand-up comedy, giving you every reason to make a full day of it. Whether you're planning a matinee followed by dinner or heading straight for a night out, the options are well worth leaving the house for.

Weeknights don't have to mean winding down. From paint-and-sip studios to packed arenas, New Jersey's after-hours calendar is anything but quiet. Whether you're looking for a creative outlet, a live show, or a reason to cheer, there's something worth getting off the couch for this week:
