The event will be formally announced by both Fox/My9 and Michael Graichen (Community Improvements Director, Borough of Seaside Heights) via social media on Saturday, August 2nd.

"This is our first year of doing festivals and we're able to celebrate at home and throw a surprise party for our hometown fans, and bring back a part of the local economy which was lost as well.” Nick and Danny will be partnering with Joe Maruca with the goal of providing pizza and smiles to the area's residents.
