NHF Cancels Friday Festivities

7:30pm Sept 12, 2013
The New Heights Festival has cancelled the Friday night festivities that would have kicked off the 1st annual event, due to fire in Seaside Park at the Boardwalk’s southern end. The fireworks display, bonfire, and live performance by P-Dub on Friday night have been cancelled.

Thursday afternoon fire broke out in Seaside Park at the Kohr’s Ice Cream shop, almost immediately engulfing buildings at the southern end of the boardwalk shared by Seaside Heights and Seaside Park, NJ. New Heights Festival grounds are at the northern end of Seaside Heights’ boardwalk, with its northern point at Sampson Avenue and southern point at Sherman Avenue. While the festival grounds are at almost a mile distance from the blaze and emergency response crews currently tackle the 6-alarm fire, the New Heights Festival has cancelled Friday’s events.

Saturday and Sunday events are still scheduled to take place until further notice. Please visit the site for news.
