It’s the biggest seasonal event on the Jersey Shore!! In fact, it’s the biggest Independence Day celebration anywhere in New Jersey, and it happens every July 4th right here in Long Branch.

Each year since 1990, crowds numbering in the hundreds of thousands have descended upon the city's ocean-front promenade from points all over the Mid-Atlantic region for Oceanfest—an all-day, family-friendly festival that brings together the most memorable sights, sounds and sensations of the summer season.

Not just a music or food festival; much more than a craft sale or street fair, Oceanfest combines the best parts of everyone's favorite community and cultural events—and caps it all off with the most spectacular fireworks display you'll see anywhere, along the Jersey coast.

At Oceanfest, visitors can stroll the famous beachfront boards, take in the famous views, enjoy performances by dancers, musicians, clowns and children’s entertainment. Sample from a smorgasbord of food vendors, and check out the wares of crafters from all over the northeast. You can even see a sand sculpture demonstration, meet a familiar costumed character, and catch some cool ocean breezes.

The festival will be held July 4th from 10 am to 10 pm, rain or shine. Oceanfest is a free, family-friendly celebration that takes place along the half-mile stretch of the Oceanfront Promenade between Seven Presidents Park and the Ocean Place Resort & Spa.

Oceanfest is sponsored in part by the City of Long Branch, Greater Long Branch Chamber of Commerce, Ocean Place Resort & Spa, Monmouth Medical Center, Monmouth Park Racetrack, Harley Davidson of Long Branch, Monmouth University, Pier Village, AJD Construction and TD Bank.
