Carriage Rides Bring Cape May’s History to Life for Visitors

 

 Cape May Carriage Company offers scenic horse-drawn carriage rides through Cape May's historic district, with tours ranging from 15 to 30 minutes. Operating since 1983, the company offers public carriage rides throughout the year, including during seasonal events and the festive holiday period. During the summer months, tours are available but scheduled around the heat to ensure the comfort and safety of both passengers and horses. Cooler mornings and evenings are ideal times to enjoy the ride. Available throughout the year, rides are scheduled to avoid extreme heat in summer. Tours can be booked online or at their booth near Washington Street Mall. Photo-taking is encouraged.

 

Cape May's 'Frank’s Way' Cans the Jersey Shore’s Favorite Cocktail

 Cape May local Frank Conrad has launched Frank’s Way, a canned espresso martini brand inspired by his homemade party cocktails. Featuring natural ingredients and gluten-free recipes, his product Let’s Be Frank offers three servings per can and is now sold in liquor stores across the Jersey Shore. In addition to the classic espresso flavor, Frank’s Way also offers a limoncello variety with a hint of lemon zest, mimicking the subtle citrus garnish of traditional espresso shots. Two more versions are on the way: Affogato, which will feature vanilla and biscotti notes, and Reposado, made with tequila for a bold twist.

Barefoot Country Music Festival Brings Four Days of Stars to Wildwood Beach 

 The 2025 Barefoot Country Music Festival returns to Wildwood Beach from June 19 to 22, featuring over 40 artists across five stages. Headliners include Rascal Flatts, Lainey Wilson, Jason Aldean, and Jelly Roll. Themed days and oceanfront performances will highlight the four-day celebration. In addition to the music, themed days will add an extra layer of fun: "Rep Your State" on Thursday, "Coastal Cowgirl" on Friday, "Stars and Stripes Day" on Saturday, and "Camo Day" on Sunday. With beach vibes, ocean views, and a lineup packed with country talent, the festival is expected to draw attendees from all over the country. Visitors are encouraged to bring essentials such as sunscreen, beach towels, and refillable water bottles to stay comfortable throughout the event. Tickets start at $257 and are available online.
