    Looks like a bunch of rooms just opened up in nearby Spring Lake (about 5 miles away): https://www.grandvictorianspringlake.com.  Not ideal if you want to walk but a nice looking spot in the vicinity.  Let's make this place PJ central.

    I can vouch that Local Smoke, Playa Bowls, Hoagitos, Surf Taco, and Local 130 Seafood are all awesome.

    This is what I was looking for!
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.
  • Anybody gone to this festival before who can offer parking advice? Wife and I are just planning to go on Saturday to see the Avetts and, of course, PJ. We live about an hour and a half away in NW Jersey.

    And all the rooms are gone now...  Hopefully someone snagged one!  I'll be there with 5 other PJ nuts (we have 3 of the rooms.)

    Awesome food lineup! I’ve had most of these before and they’re really good. I tried simply southern for the first time a few weeks ago and it was great.

    Get in line early for food.  Lines were so long and unmanageable in 2019 that I ended up leaving the festival both days to get food on the boardwalk,

    and with food industry hurting for employees, might be extra long.

    Beer lines were not bad.  There were so many stands for beer & drinks throughout various locations that it really wasn't a problem (at least in my experience).  All the food vendors were in the same area off the beach and every time I wanted to get food it was a complete s*** show with such long lines all right next to each other that I couldn't even find the end of the line for the stand I wanted.  Maybe it will be set up differently this time around.  And maybe I would have been able to figure it out better if the beer lines weren't so short.  :)
