Kick off the morning with the Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast at Convention Hall starting at 7:30 am. Historic Cold Spring Village will be hosting their Independence Weekend Celebration and you can grab a meal at the Cold Spring Grange Restaurant or a craft beer sampling at the Cold Spring Brewery. It’s a great destination for Fourth of July Weekend in Cape May. The main event, the parade, starts at 1 pm along Beach Avenue. Perfect for our guests staying with us, as we are just a few blocks from the beach.
