Save Barnegat Bay had a fantastic time at the 2018 inaugural Sea.Hear.Now Festival which was produced by Danny Clinch of Between The Sets, and C3 Presents, the team behind Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits Music Festival, Shaky Festivals and more. With feet in the sand, fans enjoyed music on the beach with more than 25 bands on 3 stages at North Beach Asbury Park and Bradley Park.
We hope to be a part of the 2019 festival and to see you there too!

The workshops were designed to provide in-depth information and tools that you can use as you follow the steps to a Jersey-Friendly Yard. During registration, attendees had the opportunity to choose which workshop to attend during each of the three morning sessions. Some presenters have graciously provided their presentations to share on this site.
