Fun Winter Events Coming To Ocean County New Jersey

 Many of us dread this time of year, with the holidays over, football season winding to a close, and spring a cold and seemingly endless 2 months away. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t great events going on all over Ocean County!

Many of us dread this time of year, with the holidays over, football season winding to a close, and spring a cold and seemingly endless 2 months away. However, that doesn't mean there aren't great events going on all over Ocean County! From a Winter Carnival, to a (believe it or not), Winter Beach Blast! While one local town is celebrating it's birthday with a big party, another is planning the biggest St Patty's Parade ever!

No matter where you live in Ocean County you can find something to do every weekend through the winter months. Our friends at Ocean County Tourism have made it easy to not only find what you're looking for, but to get the word out about an event you are planning. Their website https://oceancountytourism.com/ contains categories ranging from art, concerts and theater, to festivals, food, and live entertainment.

So remember, while you're curled up on that couch watching Food Network and eating your 4th bag of chips, you could be doing a lot more! There's a world of fun in our own little world of Ocean County! Special thanks to Ocean County Tourism for the great job they do in getting the word out about these great events, and so many more!

Seaside St PatsOcean County Tourism
Believe it or not, Jimmy’s first job was overnights at a Christian Radio Station. He claims he got into radio because like Rocky Balboa once said, “cause I can’t sing or dance.” Jimmy loves to write about all local happenings, especially around his town of Toms River. Favorite Pastime (other than masturbation, of course): Cheering for the Yankees, and crying for the J-E-T-S!!! Favorite Food: Hot Sauce…I collect ’em! Favorite Drink: PRUNO…look it up, if you dare! Favorite Movies: The Exorcist, Planet of The Apes (the original), To Kill a Mockingbird, Annie Hall, and of course GF 1 & GF 2…I heard that’s how the real fans refer to them. Favorite Movie Line: easy…Murry-Caddyshack-“big hitter, the Lama”…f#$*in’ riot! Best Rat Rock Bands: STP, VH, ZEP, PEARL JAM, FOOS, PEPPERS,AC/DC Favorite New Bands: Glorious Sons, Rival Sons, Dirty Honey Most Embarrassing Moment: the moment my mother reads this shit! Best Day: I know a lot of folks say this, but it’s true: the day my little girl Jynell and my boy Big D were born! Next to that, it would have to be the day I was baked on earth day in Central Park and met Keefer Sutherland…baked too, I believe.
