Greetings From Woodbridge

The 350th Sesquarcentennial Anniversary celebrates the traditions of our Township with events and activities that create civic pride and foster community partnerships that honor the past, celebrate the present and anticipate the future. It’s the community spirit of our Ten Towns that stand as the ‘Heart-and- Soul’ of our Township - neighbor helping neighbor and volunteers who work behind the scenes to keep the Woodbridge ‘Quality-of-Life’ the best in the state.

COMING SOON: We’re nearly ready to announce the exciting line-up for the Mayor's Summer Concert series: Golden Oldies Monday and Tribute Band Tuesday. Woodbridge Wednesday & Music-On-Main Street. Local Band Thursday. Friday Jazz Festival and Country Sunday. Tooling Around the Township ‘Builds & Repairs’ in April. Plan to shop the Summer Farmer’s Market.
