Hey, New Jersey, get ready for what they are calling the planet's biggest beach party, Beachstock - located at Margate Beach.

You will love this... IT'S ALL FREE!

It all kicks off on the beach Saturday, June 29th, 8:00 am – 10 pm (The rain date will be June 30th) between Huntington and Granville Ave, Margate. Also, get ready to party, and meet new friends because it is expected to bring in about 5,000 people.

This badass event includes a bunch of fun stuff to go with it. Get ready for food vendors, kid's activities, an eclectic live music line-up, free surf and kite lessons, cornhole, volleyball, obstacle course, Tiki Beach Bar and so much more. All this is reported by and register for the fun at margatehasmore.com

Beachstock And Really What To Expect:

Home Run Derby Contest:

This is wanted back by so many people and it is a huge hit literally.  Saturday will be the MBA Wiffle Ball Home Run Derby on the Granville Ave beach, between 11 am-1 pm. All batters will be broken up into age groups and have 10 swings off a tee to hit the most home runs over the fence in their age group for very cool prizes. I'm thinking the Morning Rat Races' very own East Side Dave would rock this one.

How About Food And Drinks:

You will have a bunch of food to choose from hamburgers or ice cream from Margate Dairy Bar and Burger, savory authentic tacos from TacoCat, and barbeque pulled pork and brisket courtesy of South Jersey Smokehouse. Culinary maestros from Goodway Bakery will be selling rum cakes. Smoothie fans can stop by California Frozen Yogurt and Shakes using only the freshest fruit. Aneu Kitchens will serve healthy, selections made from scratch with only the best ingredients.

If you're 21 and older, get ready for the beer garden the Tiki Beach Bar, with adult beverage tastings and a service area to hit up some wine and beer. This will have an island look with palm trees, flamingos, umbrellas, cornhole games, swag giveaways and more.

How About Some Live Music

 Teddi Fusco kicks off the event with the National Anthem. The musical lineup will have popular local feel-good music and classic rock cover bands. The Emerald Isle Academy of Irish Dance performers will entertain Beachstock crowds with their dance routines, plus a lot more.

There is so much going on here at Beachstock, and no doubt you will definitely have a boatload of fun. How about cornhole, and volleyball tournaments, NO WORRIES they have it. If you have the little ones they have sand sculpting lessons with Matthew Deibert, kids treasure hunt, limbo contests, and surf lessons.

So in conclusion thank you for checking out this post, and always rocking out with me and 95.9 The Rat. You can always get more stories by clicking right HERE. Much Love and Cheers.

The Hot, Sexy Beach Volleyball Athletes of the Tokyo Games

If you're like me, you watch the Olympics not only because of the unbelievable performance level of the world's greatest athletes but also because they're all so dang hot!

This year's volleyball competitors bring the heat on and off the sand court, so of course we had to include our favorite hotties competing in the Tokyo Games this year.

Since beach volleyball made its Olympic debut in 1996, the United States has established itself as a dominant force in the sport. Per The Washington Post, the U.S. women and men have each claimed three gold medals, more than any other country.

The preliminary rounds will be held from this Friday (July 23) to July 30, with elimination matches running from July 31 to August 6. The women’s medal matches are on August 5, followed by the men’s medal matches on August 6. The entire tournament will be held at Shiokaze Park in Tokyo.
