Starting Saturday and continuing through Oct. 2, support restaurants directly by purchasing their competition chowder. Then vote online for your favorite in Red, White and Creative categories! Voting closes on Oct. 2 at 11:55 p.m. Check out the Taster Trail and more on the Chowderfest website. Take a twilight boat tour on Barnegat Bay The final twilight boat tour of 2021 is set for Friday evening from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Few things are as beautiful as a Barnegat Bay sunset.
