Cape May Restaurant Week is an eight-day event that takes place every June! Enjoy an appetizer, entree, and dessert for a fixed price at participating restaurants.

Our four-day Cape May Restaurant Weekend takes place in the fall, usually in October or November. Like our June event, Restaurant Weekend features three-course, fixed-price menus.

To take part in either event, visit any participating restaurant. See days/times on our event website. No tickets are required, but we recommend reservations where available.

Movies on the Beach

Thursdays in July and August, bring a beach chair and a blanket, and enjoy free movies on the beach this summer in Cape May. No beach tags are required since this is a nighttime event.

Keep an eye on our event calendar for movies and times.

Fourth of July

The Fourth of July kicks off the summertime in Cape May and is a busy time of the year! Expect crowds, especially the evening of the fireworks show.

Independence Day Parade

Cape May’s Independence Day Parade usually takes place on the Saturday closest to July 4th and runs along Beach Avenue.

Cape May City Fireworks

Cape May’s annual fireworks display takes place on July 4th, weather permitting. Firework launch across from Congress Hall, from a barge a quarter-mile offshore. Enjoy a fantastic view of the show from the beach, promenade, or any property facing Beach Avenue.

In the event of rain, fireworks may be rescheduled or canceled.

If you come by car, plan to arrive early or sit in traffic for a while. Parking can be hard to find. Once the fireworks are over, it’s congested along Beach Avenue and the promenade — a good opportunity to grab some ice cream and wait out the crowds!

Lower Township Fireworks

If you’ll be bayside (Lower Township, including North Cape May & Villas), you can generally look for fireworks the day before or after Cape May City’s. Pick a spot on the beach. We recommend a chair or towel since the sand can be chilly after sunset! It can get crowded, so expect to park and walk a couple blocks.
