Summer, the Shore, and Southside Johnny. Does it get more NJ than that?
We do not think so. It all comes together at the Atlantic City Seafood Festival Saturday and Sunday. So while you listen to Johnny and the Jukes, you’ll munch on conch fritters, crab cakes or shrimp skewers. www.acseafoodfest.com and (609) 561-8994. Other shore stuff: Sunday in Long Branch, the Cruise to the Jersey Shore car show (www.visitlongbranch.com). At Sea Isle City Saturday, a boardwalk craft market, plus food, pony rides and dancing under the stars (www.seaisletourism.org). And in Seaside Heights, also Saturday, another arts and crafts exhibit (www.seasideheightstourism.com). More arts and crafts? Check the 20th annual Fine Art and Craft Show at Brookdale Park in Montclair, Saturday and Sunday. We have always found something to take home in years past. http://www.rosesquared.com/shows/brookdale-spring/brookdale-spring.htm If Dad overdoses on beaded jewelry and ceramic plates, he can ride in the Wheelin’ the Wildwoods bike tour on Sunday. Register online at http://www.raceforum.com/wildwoods or on-site at 8 a.m. for the 26-mile race that begins at 9 or the 10-mile run that that goes off at 10. Or Dad can play hockey with members of the Philadelphia Flyers at the Garden State Discovery Museum (www.discoverymuseum.com) in Cherry Hill; free admission for Dad on Father’s Day. Dad can also relax at a Father’s Day wine tasting at Alba Vineyards in Finesville (www.albavineyard.com). Also for Father’s Day, Four Sisters Winery in Belvidere www.matarazzo.com is roasting suckling pork on the pit. A beer man, you say? The Tun Tavern (www.tuntavern.com) in Atlantic City is preparing a Brewmaster’s Dinner. Five courses, each paired with one of Tun’s handcrafted beers. All in all, a good weekend for your Jersey Dad.
