visitors coming through the cold months and others take a more
relaxed approach to their celebrations.

if you want to celebrate down the shore this year.
CAPE MAY, N.J.
Kicking off the holiday season in the Cape May is the town’s tree

50th West Cape May Christmas Parade steps off at 5 p.m. Dec. 5
from the WCM Volunteer Firehouse and marches south on Broadway,
winds east on Perry, and onto Carpenter Lane in the City of Cape May.
