West Cape May knows how to have fun!
We start in June, when the local strawberries are bursting from the vines. The whole town gathers for strawberry shortcake at the annual Strawberry Festival.
The Lima Bean Festival in October hearkens back to our town's farming roots. Every year we crown a new Lima Bean Queen and King!.
We celebrate the holidays the old fashioned way, with the West Cape May Christmas Parade in early December. Everyone lines up along Broadway and Perry Streets to watch the marching bands, the elaborate floats and of course Santa himself!
As you can see, we haven't lost touch with our small town
