CEAN FEST

The biggest July 4th celebration anywhere in New Jersey!

See you there...rain or shine! ach year since 1990, hundreds of thousands of people have come to Long Branch’s scenic oceanfront promenade to celebrate Independence Day at Oceanfest—the all-day, familyfriendly festival that brings together the most memorable sights, sounds and sensations of the summer season.

Not just a music or food festival; much more than a craft sale or street fair, Oceanfest combines the best parts of everyone’s favorite community and cultural events—and caps it all off with the most spectacular fireworks display you’ll see anywhere along the Jersey coast.

At Oceanfest, visitors can stroll the famous beachfront boards, take in the famous views, enjoy performances by dancers, musicians, clowns and carnival acts, sample from a smorgasbord of food vendors, and check out the wares of crafters from all over the northeast. You can even see a sand sculpture demonstration, meet a familiar costumed character, and catch some cool ocean breezes.

While life in most Shore communities is centered around a modest block or two of business district, life in Long Branch is too energetic, too diverse, too full of ideas to be confined to a single “hub.” As the largest city in Monmouth County, Long Branch is many places in one … a rich tapestry of cultural currents and cool breezes — from beloved “mom and pop” storefronts and old-world ethnic cafes, to sophisticated nightlife and upscale shopping. If you’re looking for great dining, chic boutiques, outdoor recreation, art, music, theater or simply state-of-theart relaxation, you’ve come to the right place … the New Long Branch with its timeless oceanfront vistas and seaside promenades.

LONG BRANCH:

THE DISTRICTS NORTH LONG BRANCH The North End remains the kind of place where you can swap fish stories or catch the latest rumors of surf while enjoying all the benefits of modern shopping plazas, some truly fine restaurants — even a popular skate park.

DOWNTOWN The heartbeat of city life for generations, Downtown has a little something for everyone in its eclectic mix of the old and the new — including some ethnic eateries that are genuine “best kept secrets.”

A beautiful beachfront setting and seaside promenade combine with a world-class resort hotel and conference center to make the Ocean Place district a destination in itself.

WEST END Just minutes from Monmouth University, West End pulses with a beat all its own.

Home to outdoor concerts, art happenings, antiquing, shopping and some great nightlife, the district has popular restaurants and legendary late-nite eateries.

Home to many of the city’s most beautiful homes — in addition to such treasures as lovely Lake Takanassee and the historic Church of the Presidents — the southern most section of Long Branch also boasts a charmingly restored rail station as its centerpiece.
