The Pavilion is home to several concerts, fund raising events, and tons of festivals during the summer! Just to name a few, there's: the seafood festival, the Blues, Rock N Roll, and Jazz festivals, the annual sandcastle competition, runs and walks for different causes, and moonlight movies on the green! It's always free entry, and local food vendors and shops have booths set up everywhere. I would definitely recommend going to at least one festival, or try to attend everything like I am this summer!
Here's the schedule for this summer/fall:

I love living in walking distance to the pavilion! I can't wait till their summer movies start. I had so much fun laying under the stars and listening to the ocean while watching a movie.
ReplyDeleteThese seems like a really cool place to visit. Like Adrian said she likes watching the movie and listening to the waves I would like to do that as well. It just seems like a really nice place and relaxing. The town your from seems like a good town to grow up in. There's a lot to do.
