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!

Tent City looks so festive, I love all the decorations and colorful lights at night. Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
Altho they didn't do anything like this during the time I was around Ocean Grove, this brings back such lovely, lovely memories!!! Thank you for posting, my dear friend!
What a nice thing to be able to pass onto your family. It looks so pretty. I bet you have such a good time.
Looks like a cottagey kind of place (with a lot of decorations).
I absolutely LOVE this!!!! The LIGHTS!!! How fun this must be to spend the summers there!
So colourful. Such a lovely tradition!
Those are super duper cute tents.
That's a lot of legacies going on! I like the lanterns that look like jellyfish. Linda in Kansas
What a lovely event. I was just thinking as I was looking at all these photos, I would love to live in that first one :)
It all looks so festive.
All the best Jan
