Asbury Park is one of the coolest shore towns we visit here at the Jersey Shore.
It is a vibrant...colorful and culturally rich seaside town.
Known for its resilient spirit, diverse community and lively boardwalk.
A town that is also known as a creative hub, where coastal charm meets gritty urban edge.
Famous worldwide for popular spots like
The Stone Pony, Convention Hall, The Wonder Bar and The Paramount Theater.
Soaking rain did not dampen our visit to their pop-up craft festival inside Convention Hall.
It seems every weekend, there is something special scheduled here.
Built in 1929, the 5,000 square foot building was home to a wooden horse carousel.
A landmark along the oceanfront, abandon around 1980 the carousel itself was transported to
Family Kingdom Park in Myrtle Beach, S.C. in 1990.
The building is now empty, more or less but is used, at times, by the Wooden Walls Project.
Back on July 20th I wrote about the Color and Light Festival we attended in Asbury.
Right on the boardwalk the facade of this iconic boardwalk architecture
was transformed into a tapestry of light and sound, in digital art and projection mapping.
Sharing today some of the images I did not share in that post.
This was amazing.
A lot of the images made reference to the creativity of the area.
I have more pictures, I "may" share in the future.
