Chowderfest on Long Beach Island

The most well-known and popular event on Long Beach Island is the annual Chowderfest in Beach Haven. This event is generally held the first weekend of October and is a rain or shine event. Chowderfest draws crowds in excess of 20,000 people! The weekend-long event highlights the chowder cook-off where local area restaurants challenge one another for the best red (Manhattan) or white (New England) clam chowder! Recently, the selection of soups has been expanded to include things besides chowder!

Hop Sauce Festival

Hop Sauce Festival is quickly becoming a favorite event on Long Beach Island despite being somewhat new to the LBI scene (the first Hop Sauce was held in 2011). The event draws a vast crowd and is held in the late Spring season on Long Beach Island! The day-long event features local restaurants and craft beer selections in a fun outdoor setting.

Kite Flying Tournament

New to LBI in 2015 was the International Kite Flying Exhibition. This fun day involved professional kite flyers from all over the world featuring everything from stunt kites to massive kites hundreds of feet in length! It was an exciting day all over LBI and certainly was worth the trip to see all the action.
