The All-American Celebration at Congress Hall, Cape May, NJ
Enjoy a traditional day in the sun followed by an evening of food, music and fireworks at Congress Hall's All-American Picnic. Swing to the sounds of DJ Rick Dee and the Billy D. Light trio; then sing along with the Congress Hall Festival Choir. Eat up delicious hamburgers, hot dogs, and barbecued chicken with "all of the fixins", right off the grill. There will be games and face-painting for the kids and a beautiful view of the ocean from your seat on the lawn. Last, but not least, get ready for a spectacular fireworks display to the music of John Phillip Sousa right over the shoreline at Congress Hall hotel.
