Businesses from Red Bank, Rumson, Sea Bright, Little Silver, Long Branch and more to offer samples of their cuisine to benefit Sea Bright Rising.
There will be food and drink and dancing, of course, but this weekend when Sea Bright Rising holds its sold-out Beach Bash fundraiser at Ocean Place Resort and Spa, the main item on the menu will be a break from Sandy's wrath. "I think people are just looking for an escape, especially down there in Sea Bright, and I think that's why we sold out so quickly," said restaurateur George Lyristis.

The third annual event brought together food, music, beer, and thousands of eager visitors.
On a beautiful early fall day, thousands poured into the White Street parking lot to enjoy the live music, eats, and drinks of the third annual Red Bank Guinness Oyster Festival. Though an official tally isn't yet available, the huge crowds Sunday afternoon were the largest we've seen at the event, which has drawn upwards of 10,000 people during past years and has fast become a signature event for the borough.
