What’s included in ticket cost? This event is truly a “pay-one-price” event - which means EVERYTHING is included: Attendees ride the trolley and hop to all the different stops for samplings of delicious food, drinks and cocktails. Also included is event transportation, fun giveaways and door prize drawings. The ticket cost also includes free entry to the prize drawings.

Each stop on the map is unique and will offer something different. It is at the discretion of each establishment as to what they will provide attendees. The food served by the participating restaurants is limited to a “sampling”. Any restaurant offering an alcoholic beverage has a limit of one complimentary serving per person, and you must be 21 years of age. You may be asked for identification to prove you are of legal drinking age at each stop, so don’t forget to bring your I.D.

How/where can I buy tickets?

Online Ticket Sales: You can buy your tickets after here August 9th or using the QR code at any participating business. You can also purchase your tickets the day of the event at the registration table in Veterans park.

All ticket holders and online purchasers must pick up their Event Passports at VETERAN'S PARK across from the Atlantic Highlands Municipal building (100 First Avenue) on the day of the event between Noon and 3:00 p.m.
