 There is a long and distinguished tradition of Irish tenors, and one of the best known trios of the kind — named The Irish Tenors, wouldn’t you know — is in concert Saturday at the Ocean Grove Auditorium, 8:00 p.m.
But did you ever hear of Amish comedy? Go laugh with Raymond the Amish Comic at Blairstown Theatre, Saturday evening at 8.
Rockingham Historic Site in Kingston served as General George Washington’s headquarters in 1783 when he received news Great Britain signed the Treaty of Paris, recognizing American independence. This weekend George returns with his entourage of dragoons. It’s a colonial reenactment marking the 225th anniversary of the day he originally arrived at Rockingham.
 More history. At Cold Spring Village in Cape May, resident artisans show visiting families the crafts, trades, and entertainment in the life of a typical South Jersey town between 1790 and 1840. Activities include sheep shearing, wool dyeing, candle-making, farming and a dulcimer concert. All day Saturday-Sunday.
Still more history as Wharton celebrates Canal Day Festival on Saturday on the site of the Old Morris Canal at Hugh Force Canal Park. There will be food, music, arts and crafts, and rides on a mule-drawn boat like in the old days.
Meanwhile, Ringoes hosts the Hunterdon County 4-H & Agricultural Fair through Sunday at South County Park. It’s your traditional ag fair: pig races, K-9 exhibits, country music, sheep herding, plus something kind of new to Enn-Jay’s rural ways, an alpaca agility demo. Check the sked.
We even have ag in the city. The Hoboken Historical Museum presents its Seventh Annual Heirloom Tomato Festival, with free tasting of Jersey-fresh tomato varieties, Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m.
And in Wildwood Saturday, there’s a block party on Ocean Ave. Games, crafts, food, plus classic ‘70s soul groups like the Blue Notes, Tavares and the Trammps.
Plenty to keep you busy as August heads for its finale, and September waits in the wings.
