There will be a beer and wine garden provided by Windward Tavern available for guests ages 21 and over (valid ID is required to enter the garden).<\/p>\n<p>Especially with Summerfest coinciding with the July 4 holiday this year, it is likely to draw a significant crowd, meaning the township&#8217;s complimentary shuttle bus service will be the best way to get to the park and avoid a traffic and parking issue.<\/p>\n<p>The complimentary shuttle bus service will transport people <strong>to and from the following locations:<\/strong> Brick Township High School, Drum Point Elementary School, Lanes Mill Elementary School, Midstreams Elementary School and Veterans Memorial Middle School. Trips to Windward Beach <strong>begin at 5 p.m.<\/strong> and <strong>continue until 8 p.m. Return trips begin at 8 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Anyone planning on attending Summerfest is strongly encouraged to use the Shuttle Buses,&#8221; the township said in an announcement. &#8220;Parking at Windward Beach is very limited and fills up early. We anticipate parking at the park to be filled very early in the day on July 4.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fb-share-button fcbkbttn_large_button \" data-href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/2024\/07\/brick-summerfest-begins-july-4-with-concert-fireworks-shuttle-buses-will-be-running\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"large\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brick&#8217;s annual Summerfest celebration begins on Thursday \u2013 Independence Day in 2024 \u2013 with plenty of food, friends, and fireworks to enjoy.
