The Light of Day Festival has been bringing incredible acts to Asbury Park and the surrounding areas since 2000, all while raising money for Parkinson's Disease and ALS research.

Local and unsigned artists are often joined by surprise guests - people like Bruce Springsteen, Southside Johnny, Jakob Dylan, John Rzeznik, Ed Kowalcyzk, Darlene Love and many more.
