It’s time for a celebration! The 8th Annual Barnegat Bay Festival is sponsored by the Barnegat Bay National Estuary Program with support from our partners, Ocean County College, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, and the Barnegat Bay Watershed and Estuary Foundation.
We invite you to join us for a day-long celebration of the beauty and wonderful resources of Barnegat Bay at this breathtaking waterfront park. The day will be filled with live musical entertainment. Back by popular demand, The Incinerators will once again be burnin’ you with the blues. Road Apple will make their first festival appearance to spread a little of their rock ‘n roll. Festival-goers can enjoy the free scenic cross-bay boat trip that begins every hour starting at 10:30 (first come, first served). Others may decide to participate in the guided bus tour led by resident environmentalist, Jan Larson for a close-up view of the environmentally sensitive and historically significant Cedar Creek Watershed (registration required by calling 732.255.0472). Many non-profit environmental groups from the area will be there to share information and answer any questions that you may have regarding the protection of our natural resources.
In addition to learning about the Barnegat Bay Watershed, the festival includes craft vendors, food vendors, children’s activities and much, much more.
Admission is free and families are encouraged to attend and participate in the all day hands-on fun!
