Did you know you have not just five, but eight sensory systems? Want to explore them all? Head to the historic Asbury Park Carousel Building this summer for Blue Dot Social and Community Wellness’s revolutionary event that will transform how you understand your senses and your connection to others.
Sense of Belonging: An Immersive Sensory Experience is an immersive journey through sight, sound, taste, touch, smell, proprioception, vestibular and interoceptive experiences, thoughtfully designed by a neurodiversity-affirming team of experts. Each station invites exploration of your unique sensory preferences while fostering meaningful connections with a diverse community.
DJ Foggy Notion provides the background beats to help create a celebration that honors our differences while revealing our shared humanity. Whether you’re neurotypical or neurodivergent, you’ll discover something profound about yourself and others. This full brain and body experience will change how you perceive the world — and each other.
Blue Dot Community leads this groundbreaking event as part of their mission to promote physical, cognitive and social health for adults of all neurological and developmental abilities at the Jersey Shore. Their commitment to inclusion, mental wellness and environmental stewardship makes this more than just an event — it’s a movement toward a more connected community.

Paint on Pine
2025-06-20 17:00 - 19:00 | Pine Street, 2nd and 3rd Ave, Asbury Park, 07422
Imagine an entire street transformed into a vibrant outdoor art studio where creativity knows no bounds and imagination runs wild. That’s exactly what’s happening at Paint on Pine, where for one day, Pine Street is closed to traffic and opened up to unbridled artistic expression!
Led by local artist and educator Meagan Greenberg, this family-focused extravaganza invites children and adults alike to roll up their sleeves and dive into art-making.
Kids will delight in creating collaborative murals that transform blank canvases into explosions of color and story. They’ll construct fantastic sculptures from ordinary cardboard, turning the everyday into the extraordinary. At the bicycle spin art station, physics and creativity collide as children witness their artistic visions whirl into existence.
This is a memory-making experience where families connect through art, where community grows stronger with each brushstroke and where Pine Street becomes a gallery of possibility.
Bring your curiosity, your creativity and your kids. No artistic experience needed — just a willingness to play, experiment and make some wonderful memories together.
