Tickets already purchased through Groupon and Eventbrite are valid.
Sylvia Allen, organizer of the two events, says “The safety, health and well-being of our eventgoers and vendors are always our utmost priority. We look forward to seeing everyone this fall, and we send our well wishes to all during this difficult time. We will get through this.”
Waretown, which is located just a short distance from Long Beach Island, will host its 5th annual Waretown Spring Wine Festival, Saturday, September 12th through Sunday, September 13th, 2020.
