The experience

What's special

A free Belmar park festival where individual seafood vendors sell grab-and-go dishes beside live music, artisans and a separate beer, wine and seltzer tent.

What people love

The informal lawn setting supports a relaxed Jersey Shore tasting route rather than a formal chef event.
