In Brick, the township council has awarded contracts for the annual Summerfest celebration series, which will again feature food trucks, several fireworks displays and a beer-and-wine garden.<\/p>\n<p>Summerfest will be held on four dates in July this year: July 2, July 9, July 16 and July 23. Rain dates occasionally push some events into August, and the July 2 edition doubles as the township\u2019s Independence Day celebration. The musical lineup for the season has not yet been announced.<\/p>\n<p>Food vendors for Summerfest include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Big Blue Wrap and Roll (Pine Beach, NJ)<\/li>\n<li>Dellano Food Service (Long Valley, NJ)<\/li>\n<li>Jersey Juice Company (Brick, NJ)<\/li>\n<li>Jersey Mike\u2019s Subs (Brick, NJ)<\/li>\n<li>John and Debbie O\u2019s Concessions (Toms River, NJ)<\/li>\n<li>Tony\u2019s Italian Sausage (Hazlet, NJ)<\/li>\n<li>You Scream Ice Cream (Brick, NJ).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The food vendors, as a whole, paid $13,413 in bids to sell their items at the celebration. The Beer and Wine Garden this year will be provided by Mantoloking Road Ale House, representing a change from past years during which the contract was awarded to Windward Tavern. Mantoloking Road Ale House offered the high bid of $12,500 to sell beer and wine at all four events, plus the township\u2019s annual Fall Fest event.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20319\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-15-at-4.44.16-AM.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"Fireworks at Brick Summerfest as boats gather, July 2022.
