Oh What a Wonderful Year!
With 2024 wrapping up, it was once again time for What a Wonderful Year, Asbury Park’s annual after-party. The WAWY Music Festival celebrates the vibrant and diverse live local music community, featuring 20 bands on two stages over the course of two nights at The Wonder Bar. Year eight’s lineup featured local favorites and emerging artists that stood out this past year, and was headlined by The Foes of Fern and Emerson Woolf and the Wishbones.
Check out our coverage of both nights below.
