This Weekend Down The Shore: February 28th-March 2nd

Good morning and happy Thursday! ☀️ 

I know Spring is close because the Belmar Saint Patrick’s Day Parade is this weekend on Sunday — Consider it my unofficial kickoff to the season.

Like I mentioned last week, it feels like a lot of places are saving their energy for Saint Patrick’s and Mardi Gras festivities but if there were night to go out this week it would be Friday. It’s live music galore! 🤘 

One quick note: Please respond to the poll below when you can. I’m debating whether or not to keep the Monday edition of the Newsletter. What I’m considering is only covering events from Thursday to Sunday.

 

Should I keep the Monday edition?

I'm thinking of changing the format from twice per week to once per week while only covering events and live music from Thursday to Sunday
