Year-round, Cape May offers incredible live music every night of the week.
The sea isn't the only sound you have to look forward to in Cape May.
Wineries, bars, restaurants, cafes, porches, lawns, pubs - you name a venue and most likely there will be someone playing live music there most nights - especially during the summer months. Even better - it's usually without a cover charge - how lucky is that?! Listening to live music is one of my passions and a huge draw in Cape May. A few notable spots to check for local talent - and there's an abundance of that in this town - are:
The Chalfonte Hotel
Congress Hall
Harry's at The Montreal Hotel
Elaine's Hotel + Restaurant
Aleathea's at The Inn at Cape May
Hawk Haven Winery
Jesse Creek Winery
Cape May Winery
Iron Pier
Carneys
Cabanas
The Mad Batter
Fins Restaurant + Bar
The Rusty Nail
The Merion Inn
The Ugly Mug
Delaney's Pub
Convention Hall
Nauti Spirits
and more!
In addition, the Exit Zero Jazz Festival brings world-renown headline acts to Cape May in both the Spring and Fall such as Dr. John, New Breed Brass Band, Bria Sconberg, The War + Treaty, David Sanborn, Red Baraat, Winton Marsalis and a host of other jazz superstars.
