The annual Downbeach Seafood Festival returned to Ski Beach last weekend, Sept.13 and 14, drawing thousands of visitors for two full days of local flavors, craft brews and bayside entertainment.
Produced by Good Time Tricycle Productions, the event featured food trucks and vendors offering a wide array of culinary creations. Live music filled the festival grounds, with local bands performing popular songs on the main stage, while the South Pacific Island Dancers brought a taste of Polynesia to Ventnor.
Attendees also enjoyed cooking demonstrations, an oyster tour of the shore, beer tastings and the annual chowder cook-off, which raised nearly $10,000 for the Community FoodBank of New Jersey. Vagabond Kitchen and Tap House claimed this year’s trophy for its award-winning chowder.
