From Mayor Leonard Desiderio...
In addition to devastating fatalities and illnesses, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected nearly every aspect of our everyday lives – including how we educate our children, conduct business, and interact with one another socially, professionally and recreationally. Unfortunately, the pandemic has also led to the cancellation of many family functions, social events, and community gatherings.

However, the Fall Festival Antique Auto Show & Parade will take place as planned on Sunday, June 20, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. along the Promenade north of JFK Boulevard, where vintage cars and trucks will be spaced apart to allow for social distancing.

In lieu of the Fall Family Festival’s popular Seaside Market, Mayor Desiderio has invited all local businesses to participate in a “Fall Festival Sidewalk Sale” on September 19.
