The Sea Isle City Chamber of Commerce and Revitalization invites you to celebrate the arrival of spring at Girls Weekend, April 5-7. With three full days to take advantage of specials and hospitalities from nearly 40 participating businesses, it’s a great opportunity to get away for the weekend to eat, drink, shop and pamper your way through Sea Isle City.

Throughout the weekend, retail shops will offer significant savings on spring and summer merchandise, restaurants will offer special Girls Weekend menus and drink specials, and there will be a variety of workout classes to try and an array of live entertainment to enjoy.

Participating locations will be easily identified by the colorful Girls Weekend flag displayed on their storefronts. Visitors are encouraged to plan their weekend ahead with the list of specials online at www.seaislechamber.com.

Colorful “Girls Weekend” flags fly in front of participating businesses.

“Girls Weekend is a great way to get a head start on your summer shopping,” said Leigh Ann Sittineri of the Shoppes at Spinnaker. “Take a stroll on the Promenade 35th to 38th Streets, The Shoppes at Spinnaker, where stores are offering many discounts and great food.”

Stay for the weekend and book a room at The Coast Motel in the heart of Sea Isle City. Coast Motel is offering rooms for less than $100 per night during Girls Weekend.

Sip and savor delicious food and drink specials at the Oar House Pub as it offers dinner specials Friday and Saturday, with performances and dancing by The Insiders Band and FunZaluv.

Shop a variety of unique boutiques throughout town; for instance, Birdcage on Pleasure Avenue is offering 50 percent off select summer clothing and will debut some of its lines for the upcoming season. Enjoy the fresh spring air and head up to the Promenade to browse a variety of stores, grab a bite to eat, or play in the arcades at The Shoppes at the Spinnaker.

“There was a time when we raced to prepare for Memorial Day, but that has changed in recent years,” said Wes Kazmarck, owner of Birdcage. “Now, we race to Girls Weekend. It’s a unique opportunity to reconnect with our customers, clear out last year’s inventory, and provide a glimpse of what’s to come this season.”

“Other areas have tried to recreate this event, but Sea Isle City knows how to throw a party,” Kazmarck added. “The events consistently aim to bring family and friends together, and that’s what Girl’s Weekend is all about. We love that, and Birdcage is grateful to be a part of it.” 

The jitney will run on Saturday from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. A complete list of participating stores as well as specials can be found at www.seaislechamber.com.
