Remembering Al Walcoff
Our main stage music coordinator and friend, Al Walcoff, passed away on November 10, 2025. He was already working on an incredible line-up for the 2026 festival. His loss is great and we hope to honor him at the festival in April.
Remembering Pam Welch Reinoso
It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of the Roselle Park Arts Festival’s founder, Pam Welch Reinoso. She dedicated her expertise and many, many hours to bringing the arts to Roselle Park over the last 10 years. As she was forced to step back recently while battling cancer, she remained devoted to helping and advising the board. We extend our sincere condolences to her family and especially her husband, Pico, a regular festival judge and volunteer.
