Illumination Night...Tent City, Ocean Grove

We had a great weekend, one of the highlights was our visit to Ocean Grove.
Ocean Grove, is a popular vacation spot in New Jersey known for its Victorian homes,
 boutique shopping, restaurants and beautiful beaches.
Ocean Grove is also home to Tent City, 
a colony of canvas tents attached to wooden cottages that provide all of comforts of home.
One might wonder why anyone would want to live in a tent for the summer...

Saturday night Tent City came alive with lanterns, lights and a music concert.


















I have written about Ocean Groves Tent City before, you can read one of those entries here.
We usually go for a walk here at least once per summer.
The tents are emptied out and closed up in early September.
I believe there is a waiting list of about 15 years in order to buy one of these and they usually stay in families and are passed from one generation to the next.
The people who live here love it!
