Highlands to Host 24th Annual Seaport Craft Show on May 25th
The Highlands Business Partnership (HBP) is bringing back a beloved shore tradition this Memorial Day Weekend with the 24th Annual Seaport Craft Show, set for Sunday, May 25, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Huddy Park, located at Waterwitch and Bay avenues in Highlands, NJ. Admission and parking are free, making it the perfect destination for a day of waterfront shopping, live music, and local flavor.
“This year’s Seaport Craft Show is shaping up to be our most vibrant yet, with an exciting mix of both new and returning vendors,” said Diane McIlwaine, HBP Program Manager. “It’s always inspiring to see the creativity and craftsmanship that New Jersey artisans bring to the waterfront — from coastal décor to one-of-a-kind handmade goods. There truly is something for everyone.”
Visitors can browse more than 60 artisan booths offering an impressive selection of handcrafted items. Shoppers will find artisan jewelry, nautical-themed décor made from shells, sea glass, and driftwood, hand-painted furniture, garden accents, natural soaps and body care products, baby and children’s items, locally harvested honey, fine art photography, and so much more.
Adding to the festive atmosphere, local favorite Dave McCarthy will perform live from 12 to 4 p.m. at the park gazebo. Guests can also stop by the Highlands Business Partnership booth to enter the Spring into Summer 50/50 Raffle — the winning ticket will be drawn on June 23, and you do not need to be present to win.
After a day of shopping and entertainment, visitors are encouraged to enjoy a meal at one of Highlands’ many acclaimed waterfront restaurants to round out the perfect start to summer.
