October Best Bets

Posted 10/3/06

October is arguable the best month of the year at the shore. Blue skies, warm breezes, and lots to do..

Lima Bean Festival

Everyone loves West Cape May's Lima Bean Festival. It harkens back to a simpler time, when limas were king. Well, for one day, at Wilbraham Park, Broadway and Perry St's., they are. Munch on lima bean goodies, buy lima crafts, watch as the new Lima Bean Queen and King are crowned. Saturday October 7, all day.

Victorian Week

Victorian Week is really more like two weeks - If you're not into tea dances, you might just enjoy the house tours and special food events. And you never know - you might be surprised to see a Victorian lady and gent, or two, strolling the streets of historic Cape May.

Halloween Hauntings

Our hands down favorite is the Cape May Halloween Parade on October 22. Ghouls and goblins, big and small, march along the Washington Street Mall every year. (Registration starts at 1PM) In addition to the parade, there are also oodles of ghostly tours to take this year. Jump on a trolley and see the town through the eyes of someone who communes with spirits.
