The Classic & Vintage Car Show returns to Stone Harbor on Columbus Day Weekend. See below for details!
LAST WEEKEND’S WEATHER brought three days of wind, rain, and minor flooding to the island. Early in the week winds eased somewhat, but intermittent rain and grey skies persisted well into this week. Many of last weekend’s events were cancelled or postponed as a result. See below for updates on many favorite events!
THE COLUMBUS DAY WEEKEND brings two popular events to town:
- THE AVALON ARTS & SEAFOOD FESTIVAL means fresh local seafood combined with live music, crafts, and vendors. Visit the Festival Saturday, October 7th at Surfside Park from 10am to 5pm. Enjoy local seafood and local music together by the ocean!
- STONE HARBOR’S CLASSIC & VINTAGE CAR SHOW returns again this year, on Saturday, October 7th. Vehicles of all makes and models will line the 200-block of 96th Street from 10am until 1pm, with a parade to follow at 1:30pm. The show is free to attend, so check out some cars, do some shopping, grab lunch, and watch the parade! If you’d like to register your vehicle (15 years or older, email Tourism@SHNJ.org.)
SAVOR SEPTEMBER—IN OCTOBER! Stone Harbor’s annual Savor September event has been rescheduled to October 21st from 11am to 6pm. Enjoy live music, food, local breweries and wineries, and plenty of family fun!

THE 96TH STREET BRIDGE drawbridge span is slated for future replacement. The current movable span was built in the 1930s and has suffered mechanical and structural issues for many years. A public meeting was held earlier this week so members of the public could review preliminary design plans. The replacement span will be similar to the current one, and is expected to provide boats with similar navigational clearances (vertical and horizontal) when in the closed position. The current approach spans were built in the 1980s and will remain in place, except for a small section at the east end of the bridge, which will be raised slightly. Preliminary design work is underway; construction work is not expected to begin until 2025.
