Although the pandemic has resulted in the Beach Haven Volunteer Fire Co. canceling its traditional block party on Chowderfest Weekend, a group of businesses are banding together to hold a fundraiser Friday through Sunday, Oct. 2-4. at the Taylor Avenue park by Bay Village.

Admission is free, but donations are strongly requested. Hours for the Friday and Saturday events are noon to 11 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
