Somers Point is home to some of the most popular restaurants around, yearly anticipated events, and so much more. For a small town, there is always a lot happening, and that’s in part thanks to the Somers Point Unique Experiences Club. Founded by Nick Regine, the SPunique, now an LLC, has been around for the past eight years or so, and the group’s goal is to develop, produce, and support various events within the city. They host and support events that are fun and accentuate the wonderful and diverse aspects of the overall community.
Regine, who grew up in Somers Point, has been a part of the foundation of the town for years, even being instrumental in starting popular events like the Somers Point Friday Night Concert Series and BayFest. Regine shared that this town holds a special place in his heart, and after he retired, he wanted a way to still stay involved.
That’s when the Somers Point Unique Experiences Club came to be. “We aim to host about four events a year, all quirky, a little off-the-wall stuff that we find appealing, and we hope other people do too,” Regine said.
Some notable events the group has put on in the past are the Christmas Porch Performances, Opera Dinners, and the We’re All Bozos on this Bus bar tour. On Sunday, April 19, the club will host its next event, April in Paris.
Held at Gregory’s Bar, the event will feature live tunes in French and English by the Andrea Carlson Quartet. French music and French-inspired dishes and drinks will be available for purchase to tie in the whole theme. This idea came about from the famous White Dinner in Paris, and the club, as they try to do diverse and fun ideas, felt that it just came together naturally.
All events held by the Somers Point Unique Experiences Club have seen a lot of positive response from the community. This upcoming April in Paris event sold out rather quickly and has a waitlist of people hoping to attend. Regine shared that seeing that makes him and the other club members proud.
“I think the city always reacts well to our events, but of course we’re always looking for more,” Regine said. “When we first started out with the club, we didn’t know how it would go, but we’ve been very happy with what we are able to accomplish. We help businesses and the whole city economically, and that’s the whole point.”
With all their various events, themes, and ideas, the club hosts each at different spots around town, hoping to help boost business for many local places as well as the town as a whole.
“The club and the events we host help keep Somers Point in the news,” Regine said. “I always say Somers Point has a little buzz to it; it’s a small city, but it has lots of excitement. I think these events help add to that excitement and benefit the town overall.”
Whether it’s bringing a taste of Paris to town, celebrating the holidays, or organizing unique bar tours, the Somers Point Unique Experiences Club continues to find ways to make the city more vibrant and engaging. For residents and visitors alike, it’s proof that even a small town can have big, memorable experiences that bring the community together.
