Long Branch’s Oceanfest Will Return This Summer

Recent easing of Covid-19 restrictions are paving the way for the return of summer events at the shore.

Oceanfest–which is held along the Long Branch boardwalk from Pier Village to Seven Presidents’ Park during the 4th of July Weekend–will be back, the town announced.

“It is the perfect time to bring Oceanfest back,” Oceanfest Co-chair Esther Cohen told NJ Advance Media.

The event will begin at 10 a.m. Monday, July 4, and feature live music, more than 40 food vendors, arts and crafts, and beach activities, according to NJ.com. Fireworks blast off at 9:15 p.m.

Applications for the craft fair are now being accepted at the event’s website.
