It’s the latter half of August, and I can already feel a chill in the air some days for a few minutes – a reminder that fall is on the way. Some people dread the end of summer, but others look forward to all Autumn has to bring. No one knows how to celebrate the fall season like New Jersey residents, and maybe the best fall festival in New Jersey can be found in the small shore town of Margate City. This famous town is a popular tourist destination, and on September 23rd from 11 AM to 4 PM, it’ll be hopping with all the activities at the Margate Fall Funfest. But that’s just the beginning – this one-of-a-kind free festival has food, activities, music, and so much more, and it turns into a completely different festival when the sun goes down. So come on down to Margate City and celebrate the beginning of a new season in style!

Margate City is almost impossibly beautiful, but never more so than when the Margate Fall Funfest comes to town.
