Blue skies and streets lined with nostalgic classic cars made a perfect backdrop last weekend for the annual Cruisin’ River Festival.
Known for serving up family fun, food, music and entertainment, the three-day festival had something for everyone.
The kitschy centerpiece of the event, the annual "New Jersey’s Best Elvis" competition brought out "The King" copycats and drew a crowd of onlookers young and old to Marine Park in Red Bank.
Played out against a backdrop of classic rock ’n’ roll supplied by Bill Turner and Blue Smoke, the good-natured crowd cheered on a parade of Elvis incarnations ranging from the early Elvis of "Blue Suede Shoes" to the jumpsuited Elvis of "My Way."
