RAIN CANCELS EVENT

FREE STREET PARKING
Find your parking along the boardwalk or surrounding streets. We'll meet at Embury and Ocean Ave, which is where the Beach Office/bathhouse changing rooms are located. Please arrive by 10:30 am. Meet the group on the bench by the fishing dock behind the Beach Office.

Then we'll stroll along breathing the ocean air, feeling the breeze and hopefully catch some rays while we get our steps in for the day. Afterwards, we can grab a bite, ice cream or cool drink and just walk around to see the charming downtown just two blocks from the boardwalk.

We'll wrap up around 1-1:30 pm.

Don’t forget your sunglasses, sunscreen, water and snack if you’d like!

Start:short scenic riverside walk (uneven terrain) ArtYard, then dinner with the parade and dance as finale.

We'll enjoy a quirky, artistic performance "Aqualumina" designed to bring the community together designed around the dreamy charms of a riverbank at dark. Host: ArtYard, a contemporary multidisciplinary art gallery.

“A joyful convergence of art, music, performance, and light offering a celebration of the beauty of the world’s waterways. A luminous procession, where choral music and illuminated sea creatures drift together in a glowing spectacle filled with illuminated giant sea-life puppets, whimsical rain cloud costumes, and jellyfish parasols that come alive during the Festival’s parade and riverfront celebration.” Optional: wear twinkle lights-perhaps a hat, a necklace, glow necklace, to participate in the theme. See photos below for ideas.

“Evening culminates in joyous communal dance featuring members carrying illuminated paper lanterns in ArtYard’s Courtyard.”
