That’s a wrap on the South Toms River Beer & Food Fest! 🍻
Even with the not-so-perfect weather, our community still showed up strong and we couldn’t be more grateful.

All proceeds from the event go directly to support our local heroes: South Toms River EMS Squad 37, Manitou Park Fire Company, and NJ State PBA Local 368. 🚒🚑👮‍♂️

Thank you to everyone who braved the rain to make it another successful year and as the weather continues to worsen, please stay safe out there!

A huge shout-out to Manitou Park Volunteer Fire Company for coming to the rescue with their ladder truck! Our flagpole rope decided to “retire early” and left Old Glory grounded for a few days. Thanks to their help, the rope is back on duty and our flag is flying high where it belongs.
