Message from the Director
A message from the Director: Cape May MAC thanks you for your continued support
If you’re like me, the best thing about the holiday season is that most people treat others with the kindness and respect that we all should (myself included) the entire year. And if there was ever a year we all “Need a little Christmas, right this very moment,” it’s this one.

Despite COVID and the subsequent restrictions, our creative and versatile staff created new programming and partnerships to adapt and augment our tours and special events. These include private golf cart tours, new tours of the Physick House Museum, and we promoted more of our charter trolley tours for whole house rentals and those quarantining on vacation together. The 31st Annual Cape May Music Festival culminates with a live performance by the Atlantic Brass Band on Nov. 21 as part of our annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, and another digital performance with a live Q&A Zoom with the conductors and performers on Dec. 3.
While there will be no tours of B&Bs, hotels or private homes this holiday season, there will still be our full complement of holiday trolley and Physick House Museum tours, as well as new holiday walking tours, presented by guides in Victorian costume. And, of course, everyone can count on our traditional “An Old-Fashioned Christmas Exhibit” at the Carriage House’s Carroll Gallery on the Emlen Physick Estate.
Sincerest thanks to all who has contributed to Cape May MAC to offset our nearly $2 million in revenue losses due to the pandemic. Without your help, it could’ve been even worse. Note that our “$1 donated makes $3” campaign runs through the end of the year— please click on the button below for further details. (Just put “$1 makes $3” in the comments box). And giving the gift of Cape May makes a great holiday offering. Cape May MAC memberships are available online at https://capemaymac.org/ support/membership/
To you and all yours, may the season be the best it can, and here’s to a safe, healthy and prosperous 2021. Jody Alessandrine DONATE TO MAC Director/CEO
