Spring Shorebird & Horseshoe Crab Festival, Saturday-Sunday, May 19-20
Cape May County hosts the world's biggest horseshoe crab spawning event, with thousands upon thousands climbing onto our beaches to lay their eggs. Right behind them is one of the largest migrations on Earth: shorebirds headed north that stop to rest and eat. This event will be celebrated and examined by the Wetlands Institute, with so many fun events (for all ages) and ways to learn and love this event you have to see to believe.
