D&R Greenway Land Trust's Fall Fundraising Celebration

Sunday October 19, 2025
2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

The hills at Hillside Farm will come alive with the sounds of music and vibrant fall colors at D&R Greenway Land Trust's fall fundraising celebration on Sunday, October 19, from 2:00 – 5:00 pm (Rain date: Sunday, October 26).

This special afternoon offers guests a rare opportunity to experience the future Betty Wold Johnson Hillside Park before it opens to the public in Fall 2026, during our nation's 250th Semiquincentennial. In 2021, 800 acres of this historic land were donated to D&R Greenway, marking one of the largest private land gifts in New Jersey's history.

Tickets are $150 per person and available now at www.drgreenway.org or by calling 609-924-4646. Sponsorships are also available. Proceeds from the event support D&R Greenway's mission to preserve and care for land and to create public trails where people can connect with nature and one another.

Sweeney Todd, Music Mountain Theater

Sunday October 19, 2025
3:00 PM

Attend the dark, witty and Tony Award-winning tale of love, murder and revenge set against the backdrop of 19th century London. An infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which, he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett's luck sharply shifts when Todd's thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up... and the carnage has only just begun!

This production contains depictions of gore and dark themes that may be unsettling for younger or sensitive audiences. Please contact the box office for more details.
