Make the most of summer’s last hurrah this Labor Day weekend down the Jersey Shore. Live music, fun and games, races and festivals abound as Main Liners escape the suburbs to savor the unofficial final weekend of the season before fall feels descend in full force.

Whichever town you’re headed to, we’ve found a party for you. So hop in the car and cruise on over to the biggest bashes along our sliver of the Atlantic this weekend.

Beyond the beer and wine garden, live music, food trucks and vendors, attendees can also look forward to breathtaking fly-bys from aircraft from the last century. Guests can listen to the 1940s radio show reenactment while Spitfires, P-51s, F-16s and choppers perform daring feats and show off their wings.
