Dear Friends, This weekend is the city’s annual Indian Summer Weekend.  Our residents, guests and businesses all look forward to an excellent weekend full of shopping, food and events highlighted by the Block Party and Boardwalk fireworks show. Indian Summer Weekend kicks off with the Ocean City Theatre Company performance of “Shout!” the 60’s musical on Friday and Saturday evenings at the Music Pier.  Saturday is the annual Fall Block Party on Asbury Avenue, with over 400 crafters, food vendors, music and more. Saturday evening offers family entertainment on the boardwalk with fireworks at 9:30 PM. The third annual Spooks N Kooks costumed surf contest will also be held Saturday at 7:30 AM at the First Street Beach. The weekend also features seafood vendors in front of the Music Pier and Boardwalk and Downtown table sales throughout the weekend.  On Sunday, the music of Eric Clapton will be performed by the Charlie Phillips Band at the Music Pier with show times at 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Tickets for all of the weekend events are available at the Music Pier Box office. As you can see, we have a great weekend planned with plenty of fun for the whole family. I hope everyone has a great Indian Summer Weekend. Warm regards, Jay A. Gillian
