New Jersey Seafood Festival in Belmar

Positively NO PETS are allowed on Festival grounds.

A Festival Trolley, looping through Belmar, was a welcome addition to last year’s seafood celebration and will again run this year continuously from 11:00 AM until 7:30 PM. Scroll down to bottom of page for map of the Trolley Route.

The New Jersey Seafood Festival spotlights Belmar’s scenic oceanfront and allows people from around the State to sample a wide variety of seafood specialties from their favorite restaurants including: Klein’s Waterside Cafe, Jack Baker’s Lobster Shanty and many others. Food offerings extend from the traditional shrimp, lobster and calamari, to the more exotic alligator sausage, sushi, conch fritters, and seafood paella.

While sampling all this wonderful food visitors are treated to an impressive line-up of musical performances both days. The “Children’s Fun Tent” has quickly become a favorite of the younger audience. Here kids can participate in arts and crafts and demonstrations or be entertained by storytellers and musicians.
