Labor Day Weekend Events in South Jersey

What to do this Labor Day weekend other than hitting the beach and firing up the grill? We've got some ideas for you.

5th ANNUAL BUBBA GUMP SHRIMP FEST - ATLANTIC CITY

Shrimp lovers have reason to celebrate. Atlantic City has enough seafood to keep you satisfied. Head to the deck at the Golden Nugget for the restaurant's fifth annual Bubba Gump Shrimp Fest this Saturday and Sunday from noon to 8 p.m.

Inspired, of course, by the 1994 Tom Hanks film "Forrest Gump," the fest will offer popcorn shrimp, shrimp gumbo, Cajun shrimp, steamed shrimp and other shrimp-based delights in sampling-size portions.

Take in the views at the marina as you enjoy live entertainment and drinks. Admission is free; food sold individually. The Deck at Golden Nugget Atlantic City is at Huron Avenue and Brigantine Blvd.
