Camden County Board Of Commissioners

The 2023 Park Events Guide is the best way you can remain in the loop on all the amazing fun and entertainment Camden County has to offer this season. Celebrate Independence Day at Freedom Festival featuring the world-famous reggae pop group UB40 or catch a movie under the stars at the Haddon Lake Dell. And to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Cooper River Park, this summer’s lineup will feature more than 100 events at the park. So, whether it is a concert, a day at the circus, an exercise class or a fishing tournament, we look forward to welcoming everyone to our parks this summer.

The Board of Commissioners hopes you will enjoy everything that Camden County has to offer this season and we can’t wait for the fun to begin.
