About the Event
When: Wednesday, June 3, 2026 Time: 6 pm- 9 pm
Where: The Palace at Somerset Park, Somerset, New Jersey
NorwesFest has long been a celebration of community, connection, and the collective impact made possible through ongoing support. Year after year, it brings people together to strengthen Norwescap’s mission and create meaningful change for individuals and families across our region. This special evening continues to serve as a space to connect, celebrate, and reflect on the progress being made together.
This year, we’re excited to bring back a NorwesFest favorite — the Sunset Soiree returns, but with a twist!
Guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening at the beautiful Somerset Palace, filled with music, dancing, great eats, and the energy of coming together with friends old and new. At the heart of the night is a celebration of leaders across our communities who are making a difference every day in the lives of those we serve.
While the setting may feel a little different, the purpose remains the same: to support the programs and resources that empower neighbors, strengthen communities, and help build brighter futures across our region.
Our Mission:
Norwescap’s work throughout New Jersey empowers individuals and families to move away from the crisis of poverty, and towards a future where they can thrive. Our mission is to partner with individuals and families in creating pathways to achieve their hopes and dreams.
Founded in 1965 under the Johnson administration’s “War on Poverty,” and fueled by the advocacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Norwescap has grown over nearly six decades to build a comprehensive array of programs and services that, together, positively impact tens of thousands of people each year.
Norwescap works to accomplish this mission through a comprehensive array of strategies, programs and services that generally fall into six categories of support.
