The annual Ventnor Block Party, held Saturday, May 10, brought dozens of vendors and thousands attendees for a full slate of activities, spanning from Troy to Portland Ave. A wide selection of food was on the menu as food trucks served up their tastiest treats, while Ricky Stevens, ‘The Voice of Ventnor’, and HeadHigh provided local sounds on the music stage. Kids attractions including basketball, slides, and an obstacle course, kept smiles on everyone’s faces. There was even an abundance of craft vendors to satisfy everyone’s Mother’s Day shopping needs.
Last week’s event marks the beginning of seasonal activities in Ventnor. Friday, May 23, marks the return of the city’s Farmers Market at Atlantic & Newport Ave. In addition, there will be plenty of free outdoor concerts at Ski Beach and Newport Avenue, activities like the Kenny Wayland Memorial 5K, ACS Bike-A-Thon, and much more.
