Fall Harvest and W**e Festival weekend is here!
We will be closely monitoring the weather regarding our Sunday festivities and will post an update here later Saturday afternoon.
All activities and events for Saturday October 10 are a go as scheduled. The day kicks off with the Frankie Petillo Jr. 5k. After that, it's full steam ahead...the Halloween parade, scarecrow making, pumpkin patch, craft vendors, food trucks, b**r garden and entertainment by Chevy Lopez & Josh Werner at Manahawkin Lake Park.
Over at Heritage Park spend the day sampling New Jersey w**es, enjoying live music, indulging in delicious food trucks, browsing unique artisan vendors, and soaking up the fun with family and friends. Bring your lawn chairs and blankets, find your perfect spot, and relax with a glass of w**e while taking in all the sights, flavors, and sounds of the season.
Have you already purchased your tickets for the w**e festival portion of the day? Just a reminder...any prepurchased tickets are valid either day of the weekend!
