The newly minted Bayfront Fest says, “Welcome, Fall!” and sends off summer with two days of fun and shopping by the bay on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 2 and 3, in Beach Haven.

The free festival at the Taylor Avenue site brings music to the stage along with a vendor village, pumpkin patch, face painting, food for purchase, and for those over 21, beer on tap and wine or seltzer on ice. The Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce presents the Bayfront Fest to close ChowderMonth 2021.
