ParkStage is a collaboration between the nonprofit Count Basie Center for the Arts and Monmouth County Tourism, which has created a large-scale, open-air performance venue set to spend its summer at the East Freehold Park Showgrounds. ParkStage is also just part of the celebrations surrounding the America and Monmouth County 250 birthday celebrations, and the Basie Center’s own ‘Centennial Celebration.’
