CAPE MAY, NJ — Cape May – Lewes Ferry and Lower Township officials have announced the return of the free public concert series on the Coastline Realty Stage this summer!

All concerts will begin at 5:30 p.m.

“We are thrilled to host the popular summer concert series on our terminal green with our Lower Township friends,” said Heath Gehrke, Director of Ferry Operations. “It’s always a great time when friends and families can come together to enjoy scenic views, listen to music, and have some fun. The Ferry’s the place to be every Wednesday evening this summer and we hope you can join us for these electric events!”  

“On behalf of Township Council, we are excited to be partnering again with the DRBA on the best concert series in Cape May County,” said Lower Township Mayor Frank Sippel.  “And on Tuesday, August 20th we are happy to announce that once again the Amish Outlaws will be performing at our Children’s Benefit Concert, which is a fundraiser for our Children’s Fund.   Please come out and support the Children of Lower Township.”
