A full schedule of entertainment and events for this summer has been released by the Borough of Avalon in partnership with multiple community organizations including the Avalon Chamber of Commerce, the Avalon Free Public Library, the 7 Mile Business Community Association and more. Family fun is offered almost daily throughout Avalon, utilizing a variety of locations including Surfside Park, Veterans Plaza, the Avalon Free Public Library (AFPL) and even the beach.
New for 2020 is Sundays at Surfside featuring live bands at Surfside Park (which opened last year) every Sunday from 7-8:30pm. The schedule of entertainment includes 40 North, Jimmy & The Parrots, Central Park the Band and more.
The next day is Monday Funday at the AFPL and Avalon History Center, with a schedule of children’s events including Book Bingo, Behind the Scenes museum tours and more. Recreation Game Day at the 9th Street Field is held every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, offering athletic activities for children of all ages.
Tuesdays start with Story Time and Teen Tuesday activities back at the AFPL and end with Avalon’s Beach Movies at dusk featuring family-friendly films such as “The Goonies,” “Frozen 2” and “Onward.”
Wednesdays feature guided Dune and Beach Walks hosted by The Wetlands Institute as well as LEGO Club at the AFPL.
Story Time returns on Thursday, followed by a children’s event hosted by the Avalon Performing Arts Council. Be sure to hit Veterans Plaza every Thursday evening for Thursdays on Dune, featuring live music, character meet-and-greets, face painting, crafts, give away and more.
And finally, Friday’s lineup includes Kids’ Friday Funday at the Avalon Community Hall, Video Game Day at the AFPL, and a return to Surfside Park for Surfside Jam every Friday from 7-9pm with music and children’s activities.
“Each year, Avalon strives to provide fun, free family events every day through the summer,” said Mayor Martin Pagliughi. “With the addition of Surfside Park, and our new concert series on Sunday evenings, this really promises to be the best year ever. We invite everyone to check out our entertainment schedule while they are in town for a weekend, week or the entire summer. You will certainly find something fun and entertaining to do.”
