GIRALDA MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL
About Giralda Music & Arts Festival
Giralda Music & Arts Festival takes place each June on the beautiful grounds of Giralda Farms in Madison, NJ. Featuring a fantastic outdoor concert by the New Jersey Symphony, this festival is a great opportunity to enjoy live classical music in a fun, relaxed setting.
Prior to the symphony concert, there are children’s activities, a pre-show musical performance, and an art show and sale where you can shop a variety of talented local artists. Bring a picnic to enjoy out on the lawn or grab a bite from one of the food trucks on site. With fun activities for all ages, Giralda Music & Arts Festival is the perfect way to kick off your summer!
Stay tuned for details about the Giralda Music and Arts Festival 2026!
Thank You to Everyone Who Joined Us for Giralda 2025
We were thrilled to be back outdoors on the field at the beautiful Giralda Farms for our 41st annual Giralda Music & Arts Festival. Spending the day outside was a treat for us all, especially after several weekends of rain leading up to the festival.
There were over 20 artists selling incredibly creative work including jewelry, paintings, pottery, origami, hand-spun yarn, crochet stuffed animals, and more. Additionally, there were a variety of activities to enjoy for little ones including OMG Bubbles, an art workshop led by Caitlin Lodato, soccer with Cabras Football Club, and Lakeland Youth Symphony’s instrument “petting zoo.”
The Little Cafee Food Truck, WJ Japanese, Scream Truck, and The Lemon Bar were all onsite selling tasty bites and refreshing drinks. Many guests brought picnics to enjoy as well.
Grammy award-winning guitarist Hernan Romero, joined by flamenco dancer Christina Candela, and percussionist David Sillman, put on a captivating pre-show performance. Following their set, the New Jersey Symphony, conducted by Gregory McDaniel, played a wonderful concert which featured many popular favorites including highlights from Wicked.
This year’s arts scholarship winners were also recognized at the festival. Visual artist Prittha Palkar from Morristown High School was awarded the Eugenie Coladarci Scholarship and Visual Artist Matthew Kraut of Montville High School was awarded the Elaine Ehlers Scholarship.
Tickets for the 50/50 raffle were on sale throughout the event and brought in over $6,000, contributing to the Eugenie Coladarci Scholarship.
A huge thank you to all of our artists, vendors, performers, volunteers, staff members, board members, and sponsors – we could not have done it without you.
