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.

Loved all the pictures Debbie- I've been on that beautiful carousel MANY times in myrtle beach and have made so many pictures of it--- its beautiful ! Think it was built in the 1920s. I was just always amazed at the workmanship and attention to detail on it. One of my favorite memories of hot salty summer nights!
It looks so colourful, lovely photographs.
All the best Jan.
Beautiful photos. This looks like a fantastic place to visit. That carousel house is amazing.
How beautiful. I love old Carousels!!!
I love Asbury Park! And as an 80s teenager in NJ the fact that Madame Marie's is still on the boardwalk is my favorite!
Absolutely love ❤️.

You are so right, Debbie, in saying that Asbury Park is an interesting visit. The buildings are iconic and so glad to see they are still being used and enjoyed. That was a fantastic light show!
