Plus: Reba McEntire and the Roar to the Shore Motorcycle Rally.
Looking for something to do (other than veg) down the Shore this weekend? We’ve got you covered.
Rich Reinhart Jr. Clamshell Pitching Tournament
In the longest-running contest of its kind, pros (who knew??) coach participants ages 6 to 11 and 12 to 17 to toss Atlantic surf-clam halves 25 feet into holes in the sand. Shells provided, but BYO welcome. Trophies abound.
Noon to 3 p.m. (11 a.m. registration), Friday, Windsor Beach, 238 Beach Ave., Cape May, free, 609-884-9565, discovercapemay.com
Tomato Festival
West Cape May begins each summer with a Strawberry Festival, and ends with tomatoes. Both fruit-filled celebrations are equally delicious — and adorable. The Lima Bean Festival is Oct. 12.
9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday (rain date: Sunday), Wilbraham Park, West Perry Street and Broadway, West Cape May, free, westcapemaytoday.com
Brigantine Art Walk
Last call for local art and live performances at Brigantine’s al fresco, all-day art fair.
10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, City Ball Field, Brigantine Avenue between 24th and 26th Streets, Brigantine, free, 609-800-2821, brigantinechamber.com
Ed’s Funcade World Championship Skee-Ball Tournament
Win the world championship of football, and you’re set for life. Win the same title in Skee-Ball, and you get $1,000. Not bad, considering Wildwood’s end-of-summer tradition is open to all, no gear or experience required.
6 to 10 p.m., Saturday, 3700 Boardwalk, Wildwood, free, 609-729-3233, edsfuncade.com
Reba McEntire
Country’s longtime, one-name, many-hit, 33-studio-album wonder gives her heartfelt best singing to Atlantic City.
8 p.m., Saturday, Ocean Casino Resort, 500 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, $79 and $89, 800-653-8000, ticketmaster.com
Wildwood Block Party & Music Festival
The green space at the center of the Wildwoods hosts 12 hours of live entertainment — The Trammps, Russell Thompson Jr. & the New Stylistics, and more — along with games, crafts, rides, food, and fun to rival the Boardwalk’s offerings.
11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Sunday, Fox Park, Ocean Avenue between Burk & Montgomery Avenues, free, 609-522-2444, wildwoodsnj.com
Trevor Noah
The host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show keeps up his pursuit of commonsense justice for America today and tosses in a few zingers during this A.C. stop on his Loud & Clear Tour.
7 p.m., Sunday, the Borgata, 1 Borgata Way, Atlantic City, $59-$99, 888-228-4748, theborgata.com
Roar to the Shore Motorcycle Rally
It’s bike parking only in Wildwood when 165,000 riders descend for a Mid-Atlantic gathering that’s as loud as it is busy. Ride to a pig roast, ride among LED lights, ride along the Boardwalk, and ride past live rock music, a custom bike show, and a biker babe contest.
10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 7, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Oak and Atlantic Avenues and various locations, Wildwood, free, 609-729-8870, roartotheshoreonline.com
