Sea Bright Rebuilding Day Set for Tuesday

By Elaine Van Develde

It's been dubbed a grand Sandy fundraiser with the biggest fireworks display to hit New Jersey this summer.

And word was just spread via the Sea Bright Rising Facebook page that the pyrotechnics will be set off tonight as part of what is called Rebuilding Sea Bright Day, despite doubts earlier Monday.

The all-day and night event was set for July 1 at Driftwood Cabana Club to raise funds, via Sea Bright Rising and Ama Ristorante's Building Permit Relief Fund, to aid Sandy-afflicted Sea Brighters.

The daytime festivities were postponed to tomorrow earlier because of the rain. But, and now organizers have said that the weather will be clear enough to go ahead with the fireworks planned for Monday night.
 
"The DAY event has been scheduled to tomorrow," according to Sea Bright Rising in a Facebook post. "However, Yasgur's Farm is playing at the Tiki Bar. If you do come down today, you will be allowed to return tomorrow ...

"SUPREME UPDATE!!!!!!! Fireworks are ON!!!!!!! Come down NOW!!!! Yasgur's Farm is playing until 8:00 pm at Tiki Bar!!!! Fireworks are ON!!!"!

Rebuilding Sea Bright Day is comprised of two main events at Driftwood and/or a combination option:

• A Beach Bash Clambake with live music, headlined by Brian Kirk and The Jirks, slated to start at noon and include full access to the club, a clambake with complimentary drinks from the Tiki Bar and a grand finale of fireworks by the Gruccis, the same pyrotechnics of the former Red Bank fireworks. Tickets for this option are $125 for adults, $25 for children 16 and under.
 
• A deluxe reservations-only dinner with wine and cocktails at Ama Ristorante at Driftwood, with first come, first served seating starting at 5 p.m. at $275 per person and fireworks after for those who have reservations.

• A combination ticket for both the Beach Bash and Dinner at Ama Ristorante is $335.
