Summer Events at the Battleship

The Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial will host a variety of events this summer. From fundraisers to special overnight encampment nights for families, the Battleship New Jersey is the perfect place to create new memories aboard a piece of floating history. Some of our events are returning favorites, such as the 3rd annual BATTLESHIP BLAST fundraiser on Saturday, July 2nd, and the 2nd annual AVIATION DAY on August 6th. Others, like the GARDEN STATE CRAFT BREWERS FESTIVAL are new to the Battleship, and make a wonderful enhancement to our regular tours.
