The Woodbury Fall Arts festival comes to Railroad Ave. in Woodbury this Saturday!
Well, the list of foodie events over at Jersey Bites isn’t South Jersey-centric enough for my taste, so I went ahead and compiled a Franken-list of South Jersey Fall Foodie Stuff with the help of Jersey Bites, FestivalNet , Google, and various Jersey goons that report directly to me.
1. 1st Annual Woodbury Fall Arts Festival
Sept. 29: 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Craft Beer Garden, Wine and Cheese, Art of Spice Chili Cook-off, Writer’s Corner, Performing Arts stage, vendors, special guests…. a whole lot of variety.
This is my foodie-favorite this weekend because it features quite a bit of DIY food, including a session on “Preserving the Art of Home Canning.” And, remarkably, it’s right down the street from me.
Sept. 29: 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Lots of seafood, a clam-eating contest, vendors market, “a blessing of the fleet by local religious leaders,” and participating local eateries.
