Family Nights at the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences feature free fun for all ages, with a variety of events throughout the summer. This Friday, July 19, come by for an open mic from 5 to 7 p.m. – either to perform or just to take it all in.

“From poetry slams to the debut of a new song or comedy routine to seeing a staple of LBI rock out to an old favorite, this night offers seasoned and emerging acts the chance to shine,” Foundation staff note.
