Asbury Park’s music scene turns its focus to the city’s youth.

Held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Ocean Avenue located Stone Pony, the family-friendly event also features kids’ holiday activities and live music performances to benefit “Music Saved My Life,” the APMF’s Youth Initiative.
“[We] believe music is the soul of our city,” APMF Executive Director Matt Hockenjos [at right] said in a written statement. “Our mission is to preserve, exhibit and promote the rich musical heritage of Asbury Park – past, present and future – and to contribute to the city’s revitalization by securing Asbury as a musical destination. It is by creating partnerships and fundraisers like the Family Holiday Rock Show that we are able to reach our goal.”
