Events & Exhibits

Pictured Here (photo credit: MAC): View historic 19th century and early 20th century lighthouses that aided ships sailing the treacherous mid-channel of Delaware Bay aboard the new Cape May Whale Watcher or the Spirit of Cape May during Delaware Bay Lighthouse Adventures. Co-sponsored by the Cape May Whale Watcher and the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities (MAC), these voyages of discovery take you past "water access only" Delaware Bay lighthouses, many of which are still in operation today but are surrounded by water and not visible from land. The cruises are seven hours and feature these Delaware Bay lighthouses: Cape May Lighthouse; Harbor of Refuge (Lewes); Delaware Breakwater East End (Lewes); Brandywine Shoal; Fourteen Foot Light; Miah Maull Shoal; Cross Ledge; Elbow of Cross Ledge and Ship John Light. A special, limited five-hour trip is offered for the New Jersey Lighthouse Challenge aboard the Spirit of Cape May.  

Pictured Here (photo credit: MAC): Bring the whole family to the Craft Beer & Crab Festival Saturday, Aug. 10 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Emlen Physick Estate, 1048 Washington St., Cape May, and experience what CBS NY named one of New Jersey's Top Five Summer Festivals! Enjoy steamed crabs and other delicious summer treats including pulled pork sandwiches, French crepes, hot dogs, popcorn, cotton candy, cookies, soda and freshly squeezed lemonade. Cool off with ice cream and water ice. Try delicious craft beers and relax under the shade of the estate's mature trees and listen to live blues, rock, jazz and soul music all day from bands on the stage near Hill House. Bring a lawn chair or spread out your beach blanket for a great afternoon and evening of musical performers. Crafts and food vendors will be selling hand-made and vintage items, juggling from the Give & Take Little Circus, and much more.
