The Lambertville New Hope Winter Festival returns in February with two special events

The annual Lambertville New Hope Winter Festival, a long-running community tradition, returns in February with two fundraising events benefitting local food banks.

The festival kicks off with a sold-out concert featuring actor and musician, Micky Dolenz, who is best known as a singer and drummer with The Monkees. Hosted at the New Hope Winery, the concert is scheduled for 8 p.m. on Feb. 2.
