"The Appel Farm Arts and Music Festival, to be held June 2 in Elmer from 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., draws more famous names, most of them closely aligned with the adult-alternative genre.... Now in its 23rd year, the festival delivers fans by the thousands to the 60-acre grassy site in Salem County; its artistic director, Sean Timmons, is expecting close to 5,000 this year."
