Attention all seafood lovers, it's time for the annual Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce LBI Chowderfest.
Restaurateurs from across the region will serve thousands of gallons of New England-style or Manhattan-style chowders to thousands of visitors Sunday. Renowned throughout the region, the festival, now in its 24th year, draws people from neighboring states who hope to sample some of the best chowder on the East Coast.
Enjoy unlimited chowder tasting! Live music, children's entertainment, and a food court are all part of the event, which is held rain or shine at the Taylor Avenue ball field, Ninth Street and Taylor Avenue in Beach Haven (across from Schooner's Wharf and Bay Village) from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, September 30 2012.
This family fun festival features live music, activities and unlimited Chowder tasting with the opportunity for each ticket holder to vote for their favorite red and white chowder.
The event is in Beach Haven surrounded by beautiful views of the bay with discounted shopping. It has become a tradition for family and friends to gather together to say good bye to summer and welcome in the fall.
Always the weekend before Columbus Day Weekend, this year join us on September 29 for the fabulous Merchant Mart (free admission) where hundreds of vendors offer the best deals of the season and Sunday for the Chowder Cook Off. Looking for a home on LBI? Go to www.TheJerseyShoreHomeFinder.com.
