Weekend Happenings – Fall Block Party, HERO Walk, Irish Fest + More

We should rebound nicely from last weekend's dismal weather and you have a host of fun, fall events to consider this weekend in South Jersey.

Join Lite Rock 96.9 WFPG at Saturday's 5th annual John R. Elliot HERO Walk.

The Campaign, which seeks to prevent drunk driving by promoting the use of safe and sober drivers has set a goal to register 100,000 designated drivers.

The walk, originally planned for last weekend, takes place at 6th & the Ocean City Boardwalk this Saturday 10/10 with registration @ 9am, opening remarks @ 10:30am and the walk @ 11am.
