Autumn may have arrived, bringing chilly temps with it, but locals are encouraged to dig out their sweaters and gather – outdoors and socially distanced, of course – at the Manahawkin Mart at 657 East Bay Ave. for the first Manarockin’ Music Festival on Sunday, Nov. 22, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. to benefit the Stafford Township EMS.

In addition to food, the festival will feature five local bands: Dying Light, Firefly, The Jimmy Brogan Band, Moonlight Mile (a Rolling Stones tribute) and Simply 3.
