🎵 Music Festivals Tips for Long Branch
- •Shore music events split between free boardwalk/gazebo series (bring your own chair) and ticketed festivals — check which kind you're attending before assuming you can walk up.
- •For beach concerts, sound carries best mid-crowd rather than up front, where speakers often point over your head.
- •Evening sets cool off fast once the sea breeze picks up — a layer that seems unnecessary at 6pm won't be at 9pm.
- •Parking in Long Branch: Municipal lot $10 weekdays/$20 weekends. Metered street parking available.
