Hillside is calling residents to gather outdoors for two days of free music and celebration. The Hillside Outdoor Music Experience — HOME — returns to the Hillside Community Center on Saturday, August 1, and Sunday, August 2, with back-to-back days of outdoor music at 274 Hillside Ave. Union County Life reports on the weekend celebration.
