Chamber Unity Day

Unity Day is the Chamber's major event to raise money for local charities.

Unity Day is a day to get re-connected and to bring the residents, families, and the businesses of Bernardsville and neighboring towns together for a day of fun, unity and family festivities.

In 2008, over 100 sponsors made this event a huge success raising over $14,000. for our chosen charities with over 4000 people enjoying the day.

The highlights of the day typically consist of an old fashion BBQ run by the fire dept, live music, rides, games, Police Dept Safety program, Fire Company and First Aid equipment and business displays by local merchants.

Our attractions consist of petting zoos; pony rides, slides obstacle courses and many other attractions.

Unity Day, is a wonderful time to bring the commUNITY together to raise $ for the Fire Company and our senior citizens.
