The end of June is near and that means it is time for Harbor Fest. This is a great new Cape May Tradition that started a few years back. Cape May Harbor Fest offers several attractions and is so well managed that a shuttle is available to effortlessly ferry patrons from town to the Cape May Harbor area.

This years event will feature a tribute to the fallen sailors from the tragic fishing boat accident earlier this year.  So although the event is a time of fun in the sun a sense of respect and remembrance for sailors will be present.

Some of the attracts will be an assortment of seafood, cooking demos, arts and crafts, and live music.  There will also be a canoe and kayak regatta and wharf tours. So this spring festival has a lot to offer.

One of the best features of the event is the convenient trolley that will shuttle patrons from the Washington street mall to the Harbor area. This makes browsing the Harbor Fest a care free event because guest of Cape May Bed and Breakfast or hotels can easily walk to the trolley stop and not worry about driving and parking.

Harbor Fest will take place Saturday June 20, 2009 from 10 am to 5 pm. If you would like additional info dial: 609. 898.8848.
