Carmen and Nancy Morotta, along with their various marketing partners continue to stage wonderful community events in Somers Point.

For example, there is world class entertainment every Friday night with the Somers Point Summer Concert Series on the beach at Bay Avenue.

This concert series recently won best outdoor concert series in America by USA Today 10Best Readers Choice Awards.

Already this summer, John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band have performed, with many weeks more of great entertainment prepared to take the stage every Friday night this summer.

I have fallen in love with the Friday night Somers Point Beach Concert Series. It is so relaxing and fun in the beach in Somers Point.

Carmen and Nancy Marotta are also successfully managing a long-time summer concert series on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City at Kennedy Plaza.
