This Week in Seaside Heights: Italian Street Festival, Columbus Day Parade, and Lucky Leo’s Arcade!

Welcome to This Week in Seaside Heights!

Each week through the fall months, we’ll be telling you about all the fun events and activities in this family-friendly resort town, just across the road from Exit 82!

As the days get colder, it’s time to bundle up for the countless festivals and parades taking place outdoors celebrating holidays and cultures. Throughout the week, spend time indoors at one of Seaside Heights arcades like Lucky Leo’s where you’ll get to spend some time with family and friends winning prizes or battling it out in Skee Ball!

From fall through winter, spring to summer, it’s always a great time to visit Seaside Heights!
