Paint the Town Pink Event Schedule

The schedule for this year’s weeklong Paint the Town Pink celebration was recently released. The annual event, aimed at raising awareness of breast cancer and highlighting the importance of mammography, includes 14 signature “Pink” events this year, according to a release from Meridian Health.

We’ve got the complete schedule for you right here. Paint the Town Pink begins on Saturday, April 30 and runs through Saturday, May 7, though towns, businesses, and residents have already started by decorating homes, buildings and even city streets with all things pink.

The events take place throughout northern Monmouth County, including Red Bank, Fair Haven, and Atlantic Highlands, among other locales. In the spirit of Paint the Town Pink, we’re leaving all pink references in the schedule and trusting that you know better than to type Pink Bank into your GPS device rather than Red Bank when you head out.
