⚓ this week on LBI: 9/24/26

Mornin’!

Keep an eye on the weather the next few days as wind, rain, and flooding are all in the forecast. Some of the events and live music listed below might also get cancelled so best to call ahead or check social media for updates before you venture out!

We’ve also taken our first stab at finding the spots that have football food and drink specials during the fall. You can find a link to that list at the bottom of this email under the “Eat & Drink” section. We’ll continue to add establishments as we find ‘em.

Now, here’s what’s happening this week…
