(Rain date: Sunday, September 21st)
The "Festival of the Sea" is a street fair located in the heart of downtown Point Pleasant Beach, on Arnold & Bay Avenues, where visitors sample dishes by area's finest restaurants (from clam chowder to lobster to steak); arts & crafts, pony rides, antiques, health, business and non-profit booths, kiddie games and live entertainment.
Twenty-nine years of growth, 60,000 people attend. Held in the off season to extend the tourist season. Twenty-five of the Shore's best restaurants serving landlubber and seafood delights. Over 225 crafters & artists, plus other exhibits and games for the whole family. The Festival is the "proud" recipient of the American Bus Association's one of "The top 100 events in North America", and one of the best "tree entertainment", by the Asbury Park Press's best of Monmouth/Ocean County readers' Peoples Choice Award. Plenty of tables around so you can eat and enjoy the live entertainment.
The Festival runs from 10 am -7 pm, so you can enjoy lunch and dinner with us. Also, featuring shuttles, so parking is not a problem. This is a street fair, so there is no entrance fee. The Festival is followed by "Fireworks" on Jenkinson's Beach. A wonderful day for the whole family!!!
