To keep everyone safe during the Covid-19 Pandemic, the 29th Annual Sailfest 2020 event will be charting new waters by going ALL ONLINE at SailfestNJ.com on Saturday, September 12, 2020 from 10am to 10pm!
Going online will enable The Rotary Club of Toms River to continue the tremendous ‘wind-in-our-sails’ growth, success and community love of Sailfest. The event will still include all the music, art, crafts, raffle and other nautical things which thousands of Sailfest fans have grown to love - and much more.
Sailfest NJ will kick off on September 12th at 10:00am with a Veterans and 9/11 Reflection Ceremony to honor the men and women who serve our country or lost their lives during the tragic events of 9/11. Then, we cast off with a full day of live music, sailing movies, sailing classes, classic Popeye cartoons, nautical workshops, boat tours, nautical storytelling by Navy veterans, auctions, raffles, vendors, and other sailing fun from the Jersey Shore!
Musical performances include regionally and nationally acclaimed artists Audio Riot, Geoff Kaufmann, Hank Cramer “The Shantyman”, The US Coast Guard Dixieland Jazz Band, William Pint and Felicia Dale, and the Garden State Radio Band to end the evening.

32nd LBI Chowderfest Month 2020
|
September 5th thru October 4th
Due to restrictions currently in place, the Chowderfest
will bring chowder tasters directly to the source by supporting local restaurants and retailers. As the organizers of the 32 year event, they recognize that this is an opportunity to keep the community safe and keep this popular event on the 2020 calendar. There will be a lot of feature, including a Chowderfest Play list for in home or on route listening, Ecommerce Chowderwear store, restaurants serving up dine and take home options as well as an online voting component, Chowder Virtual Run, social media and pop up surprises.
By allowing a full month to share the spirit of the event, it allows customers to enjoy multiple restaurants at their own pace, avoiding overcrowding of restricted space and submitting their vote when they are sure of their choice. Details will be shared shortly. ChowderMonth will begin September 5 for patrons to begin purchasing Chowder cups, pints and quarts to taste so they can even create a “Chowderfest at Your House” event with online voting beginning Labor Day Weekend.
Each voter can register for free and will receive the Chowderfest Virtual Information Packet. The event will be supported by interactive content as well as the announcement for the Chowderfest 2020 Overall Champion happening October 4. From Photo Op stops, digital mapping and Secret Sale Merchant Listing housed online at Chowderfest.com, there will no cost for consumers to get the information needed to vote or tour the participating members.
