Festival of the Sea

About

Running since 1975, Festival of the Sea in Point Pleasant Beach is a September seafood festival held downtown along Arnold and Bay Avenues with 250+ craft vendors featuring handmade goods. Beyond seafood — crab cakes, shrimp, paella, lobster — there's diverse food, live music on a main stage, and a beer garden at the Elks Club (proceeds support programs for handicapped children). Local businesses mark down summer inventory for the event.
