Keansburg
has more to celebrate this year than its Centennial. There are over 50 new
events planned to take place this year on the beach. The events include
festivals, bull riding rodeos, free movies and concerts, beer gardens, food
truck events, fireworks, and much more. Gratitude Migration is returning for its third year with
an anticipated 3,500 attendees camping on the beach in a three-day festival in
July. The NY/NJ Baykeeper will be offering free kayak rides on
the Bay in August. Keansburg’s free beach was rebuilt since Sandy and the low
waves from the Bay make it perfect for young families. Our CentennialWeekend in October will
be three days of concerts, a parade, carnivals, a petting zoo, beer gardens,
fireworks and many family-oriented activities throughout the town. Public
transportation makes getting to the beach, amusement and water parks
inexpensive and convenient.
The
newly formed Keansburg Business Alliance has
reenergized the commercial growth with new restaurants, as well as a Muay ThaiGym and Wrestling Club.
The Raritan Bay Brewery will be opening in the Fall of 2017
and the Pier 260 Restaurant is starting construction this month and scheduled
to open by the summer of 2018. This $3 million project is a three-story
restaurant and roof top bar that will have panoramic views of the Bay and New
York skyline. There is currently over $70 million in projects under
construction with $50 million on the drawing board. The Borough Council is also
providing tax abatements and/or exemptions for the construction of commercial
or industrial structures for five years.
On July
5, 2016, The New York Post reported “Keansburg,NJ is the No. 1 Bargain Beach Town in the country, according to a report byRealtyTrac.” DrSketchy Asbury Park is spearheading the Keansburg
Mural Project where six unique artists will be adding art and beauty by way of
murals to Keansburg. The town has passed ordinances for more strict code
enforcement to help improve and stimulate visual improvement to some of the
Super Storm Sandy-affected areas still recovering.
