Small Business Saturday in Downtown Toms River

Find unique and one-of-a-kind gifts that will not only have your recipient exclaiming “this is amazing!” but you’ll feel just as good supporting your local businesses.

After you spend Friday gobbling up those Thanksgiving Day leftovers, bring the family to Downtown Toms River on Saturday from 10:00am – 12:00pm, The Downtown Shops @ 53 Main (53 Main Street, Toms River) will be hosting a kick-off breakfast. It’s the perfect stop to fuel up for a day of shopping deals and giveaways.

Business Spotlight: 600 Main, Bed & Breakfast and Victorian Tea Room

Located in the heart of Downtown Toms River, 600 Main, A Bed & Breakfast and Victorian Tea Room (600 Main Street, Toms River 732-818-7580) is the perfect place to bring your friends and family, especially during the holiday season. This five-star bed and breakfast is located in a Victorian mansion dating from the late 1800s, allowing visitors of all ages to take a step back in time.

Originally built in 1898, the home was owned by a local mariner who sailed the world and through the years has been the scene for elegant parties and lavish dinners. Since purchasing and renovating the home in 2011, John and Susan Notte have successfully transformed this magnificent property into a destination.

Open year-round, this 7,500 square foot home features five luxurious suites with private baths, early morning hot breakfast, homemade afternoon refreshments, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy old and new friendships. Also inside the property is a Victorian Tea Room that is the ideal location for celebrating special occasions. From reunions to holiday parties, corporate events, and showers, your guests will enjoy the ambiance as well as the history.

Looking Ahead to December…

Just in time for the holidays, Downtown Toms River is also launching their brand new newsletter. Get the insider information on your favorite downtown, delivered right to your inbox!

Celebrate the holidays with Downtown Toms River as residents join together for the town’s Annual Christmas Tree Lighting and compete in the business and resident decorating contest. With the holidays in full swing, it’s the perfect time to visit The Downtown Shops at 53 Main as they host holiday festivities all month long.
