Going To The Seaside Heights Music Festival? Here's What You Need To Know

If you’ve already bought your tickets to the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover in Seaside Heights, or if you’re thinking about going to check out the free portion of the festival, here’s a look at the music lineup and other festivities that are part of the weekend, as well as other information.

Tickets are still available for purchase on the festival’s website, here, and on site at the box offices set up at Hiering and Dupont avenues, at either end of the festival.

There is a 30 percent chance of showers and the temperatures are predicted to be fairly cool, with highs only in the low 70s on Saturday, so be sure to bring a sweatshirt to keep warm and a rain jacket or large plastic poncho to stay dry. No umbrellas are allowed in the festival.
