Memorial Day weekend starts in just three weeks. Can you believe it?! While that may signal the start of summer here at the Jersey Shore, it is still technically spring right now. So, before the shores fill up with tourists for summer, you might want to attend the Smithville Mayfest 2022 next weekend to celebrate springtime.
What: Smithville Mayfest 2022
Where: Smithville Village in Historic Smithville
When: May 14th & 15th, 10 am to 5 pm
Smithville Mayfest 2022
Dozens of crafters showcase their wares at Mayfest every year. Even though the event starts at 10 am, vendors set up for sales by 9:30 am. So, get there a little early for some great one-on-one time with the vendors before the crowds start shuffling in. Also, they say that variety is the spice of life. With various food vendors on-site, the only problem you may come across is deciding which one to choose for your meal. Since literally thousands of people visit Mayfest each year, try to fit your lunch in a little early (say, 11 am to 11:30 am).
Work off the calories ingested by taking a paddleboat out on the lake. Prefer a more leisurely activity to while away the afternoon? Hop aboard the train or take a ride on the old-fashioned carousel. The train helps you spot which village shops you might want to visit, as well. For your convenience, park near Smithville Shopping Square and take the free shuttle over to Mayfest. Shuttles run from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm. Have fun with the family and enjoy the beautiful scenery in one location…historic Smithville.
Don’t Forget Your Beach Badges!
Until the end of May, you can still purchase your Ventnor, Margate, and Longport beach badges at a discount. They run just $10 per adult and $3.50 for seniors right now. However, as of June 1st, they double in price. So, it pays to get them now. Officials make it easy to buy them, too. If a visit to City Hall does not fit in your schedule, use the Viply app. So easy!
