Nutley Glotzbach Park Concert Series Returns

Commissioner Mauro G. Tucci and Nutley’s Department of Parks and Recreation said on May 5 that the township’s 2026 Summer Concert Series will return to Glotzbach Park with free evening performances aimed at families. The concerts are scheduled from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., according to a township announcement carried by TAPinto. The first announced date is May 27, when Little Mermen and Princess Pals are set to perform. A later concert on July 22 will feature White Horse, a country band, the announcement said. ### When does the concert series start, and where is it being held? May 27, 2026 is the opening date listed for the series, and the venue is Glotzbach Park in Nutley. The township announcement said residents are invited to attend outdoor performances in what it described as a relaxed setting. Father Glotzbach Park is listed on the township website as a Nutley recreation site on Park Avenue. The park page says the site includes open space, athletic fields, playground facilities and parking, making it one of the township’s larger public recreation locations. ### Who is performing in the first and last announced shows? Little Mermen and Princess Pals will open the series on May 27, according to the township announcement published by TAPinto. The act was described there as a Disney cover performance aimed at children and families. July 22, 2026 is the other date named in the announcement, with White Horse scheduled to appear. The township described White Horse as a country band that will bring “crowd-pleasing hits” to the summer lineup. ### What else will be at the events besides music? Face painters and a food truck are planned for the events, the township announcement said. The same notice encouraged attendees to bring lawn chairs or blankets for the two-hour concerts. “These concerts are a wonderful way to bring families and community together,” Tucci said in the township statement. He added that organizers wanted to offer “great music, family activities, and a welcoming outdoor atmosphere.” ### Is there a cost to attend? The township announcement described the concerts as open community events and did not list an admission charge. Nutley’s recreation page says the township provides summer musical concerts for residents during the warmer months as part of its regular programming. Nutley’s recreation page also says the township’s summer concert series typically runs on Wednesdays and has historically been staged at other township parks, including Kingsland Park and Memorial Park 1. The 2026 announcement places this year’s featured events at Glotzbach Park instead. ### Where can residents check for updates or more details? TAPinto Nutley published the township’s May 5 announcement with the currently named dates, performers and event details. Patch’s Belleville-Nutley coverage has also pointed readers to the 2026 Glotzbach Park series in local events reporting. The Township of Nutley’s Parks and Recreation pages remain the main official source for park information and recreation programming. As of May 21, 2026, the announced concerts begin on May 27 with Little Mermen and Princess Pals and continue with White Horse on July 22, both at Glotzbach Park from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
