Downtown After Sundown: Caribbean Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday, June 6, 2026, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Spiotta Park in South Orange. The event opens South Orange Downtown’s summer live music series, which is scheduled to run on Saturday evenings from June 6 through September 5.

The kickoff is also listed by South Orange Downtown as a Caribbean History Month Celebration. The program includes steel pan music, a DJ playing Caribbean favorites and dance performances by Concepts Dance Academy. Visitors are encouraged by the organizer to bring a chair and may pick up food or drinks from nearby downtown businesses.

The series is organized by South Orange Downtown, the South Orange Village Center Alliance. The organization describes itself as the nonprofit management entity for the village’s Special Improvement District, founded in 1991 as Main Street South Orange.
