Spring is in the air! With each passing day, the temperatures are only going to get warmer and the weather in general becoming more pleasant. That also means that we’ll continue to see more and more outdoor related events throughout the area, which is great considering we’re talking about the Jersey Shore here.
And you know what? There are plenty of fun and exciting things happening during the month, which is why we’ve rounded up some of the best ones for you to consider! Many of them, in fact, are two-day events that happen over the weekend, which will give you even more time to consider. From a convention for the cats, to a festival all about bacon, and then a town-wide egg hunt, you’re bound to find something to do!
