Fun Events in the Shore:

Sunday, September 7 - Belmont Shore Car Show — need we say more?

Monday, September 8 -“908 Day,” a citywide celebration of hometown pride in Long Beach, encouraging residents to

• Wear something that says Long Beach (or 908)

• Get out of the house and shop/dine local

• If feeling really ambitious, organize a block party with neighbors!

Businesses across the city will be offering discounts on that day for people who show up in something that says Long Beach!
