More on the Neptune Festival

Last week, we talked about some of the features of the upcoming Neptune Festival, such as the Sandsculpting Championships. However, because it’s such a major event, it involves so much more. Here’s the scoop on what else to anticipate during this fabulous gala on the last weekend of September.

Take a break from boardwalk activities to watch the Atlantic Regatta on September 28. From 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., boats will race across the water from Cape Henry to Rudee Inlet. You can view the exciting finish from the 24^th Street Park.

The Neptune’s 8K Run offers a course with a beautiful ocean view for running, jogging or walking. After you cross the finish line, you can celebrate at the post-race party at the 31^st Street Park. The race is free for spectators and $40 to $50 for participants. It will be held on September 28 from 6:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Yet there’s more! Another part of the festival is the Volleyball Tournament on September 28 and 29 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The location is the beach between 30^th and 40^th Streets.

The Art and Craft Show includes paintings, sculpture, glasswork and photography. You can catch this ongoing display anytime during the festival.

Don’t miss the Grand Parade on September 28 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. This free event runs from 16^th to 32^nd Streets.

New this year, the trolley, which takes you right from KOA to the beach, will be operating every Friday, Saturday and Sunday throughout September. This makes trips to the Neptune Festival and other events extremely convenient.
