Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update November 27, 2019

November 27, 2019 By Bill and Kay Leahy


Holiday beach tags will be available this weekend!  See below for details!

THANKSGIVING WEEKEND IS A BIG ONE here on the Island!  If you’ve never been here on the Island for Thanksgiving Weekend, you need to experience it!  The Island is packed with people, fun events, activities, holiday celebrations,  plus great shopping and dining options.  Whether you’re looking to unwind with friends or entertaining the little ones, there’s no better place to kick off the holiday season than right here in Avalon & Stone Harbor!

FESTIVE FRIDAY & SNOWFEST SATURDAY will make Avalon’s business district come alive!  An unbelievable array of holiday-themed activities will be available, including photos with Santa, Polar Extreme obstacle course, a bounce house, a soccer shoot out, and non-stop holiday music.  For a full list of activities and locations, click here:  https://www.visitavalonnj.com/event/thanksgiving-weekend-avalon

WHITE CHRISTMAS—AN ISLAND HOLIDAY is Stone Harbor’s celebration, with another huge selection of activities Friday & Saturday, including a Downtown Holiday Dash, a pet parade, story hour with Mrs. Claus, and photos with Santa.  For the entire line up click here:  https://stoneharbornj.org/event/stone-harbor-island-holiday/

HOLIDAY BEACH TAGS will be available for purchase in both Avalon & Stone Harbor this weekend, while supplies last.  These annual favorites feature holiday themed images and make great stocking stuffers for the beach lovers in your family!

  • In Avalon holiday tags can be purchased at the Rescue Squad building from 10am to 4pm on Friday & Saturday, for $23.
  • In Stone Harbor holiday tags can be purchased at Borough Hall from 10am to 4pm Friday & Saturday, and 10am to 3pm Sunday, for $23.


Fire trucks old & new, floats, bands, and even Santa will appear in Stone Harbor’s Christmas Parade Saturday evening!

CHRISTMAS PARADE!  What a way to cap off a great weekend!  The annual Christmas Parade begins at 6:30pm Saturday evening and includes bands & music, floats of all kinds, fire trucks from all over Cape May County, and an appearance by Santa!  The parade proceeds north along Third Avenue toward 96th Street, then turns onto 96th Street toward the beach.  Any sidewalk along the route makes for good parade viewing, and you’ll be amazed at the crowd of happy onlookers kicking off the holiday celebration here on the Island!

BRIDGES—PLAN AHEAD!  When making your way toward the Island this weekend, keep in mind the ongoing maintenance work on the Avalon Boulevard Bridge, and the alternating lane pattern restricting traffic flow.  To avoid delays on Avalon Boulevard, those headed to Avalon’s north end may want to allow a few extra moments of travel time and enter via Sea Isle City and the Townsend’s Inlet Bridge.  Those headed to Avalon’s south end (or Stone Harbor) may wish to use Stone Harbor Boulevard.  However, if entering or leaving Stone Harbor Saturday evening, remember that traffic will be restricted in the area of the parade route.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you and your family!  Wishing you the very best, this weekend and throughout the holiday season!
