UPDATE FOR THURSDAY JULY 16 -

Songwriters on the Beach Update
Due to the Air Quality Alert issued across New Jersey, tonight's Songwriters on the Beach concert (Thursday, July 16) has been rescheduled to Thursday, August 27.
The health and safety of our performers, attendees, volunteers, and staff is our top priority. Out of an abundance of caution, we've made the decision to move tonight's performance to the end of the summer.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming everyone back to the Newark Avenue Beach on Thursday, August 27, for an unforgettable evening of live music by the ocean.
A sincere thank you to our presenting sponsor, Radiant Resources; our Stage Sponsor, Monmouth Ocean Realtors; and our generous supporters, The O'Toole Family Foundation and the Bradley Beach Tourism Commission, whose continued support makes this free community concert series possible. We also extend our thanks to our friends at D'Arcy's Tavern for taking great care of our musicians throughout the summer.
We'll see you on the beach soon!
