Cape May Court House, N.J. – Middle Township’s Summer Concert Series has become a popular event over the years, but this season, it’s even drawing a visitor from the North Pole. Santa Claus will be on hand for a Christmas in July concert on July 25. Animal House Band will perform.
Santa will be available for photos, giving families an early start on their Christmas cards. The event also will kick off the Middle Township Police Department toy drive. Guests are asked to bring a new, unwrapped toy for the drive, which benefits local families in need during the holiday season.
The Summer Concert Series will be held Tuesdays from July 11 to Aug. 22 (except on National Night Out on Aug. 1) at the Ockie Wisting Recreation Complex. The events run from 6 to 8:30 p.m., and admission is free.
Food vendors will include Mac’s Café, A&T Ice, and The Patriot Food Truck.
Guests are encouraged to bring chairs, blankets, bug spray, coolers, and, of course, their dancing shoes.
Here is the lineup of musical acts, including returning favorites:
July 11 – Shot of Southern
July 18 – Independence Day
July 25 – Animal House (Christmas in July)
Aug. 8 – The Big House Band
