Things to do in Cape May September 2022.
With Labor Day just around the corner, some might be tempted to proclaim the end of Summer and set their sights on Fall. In our opinion, it’s a bit too early for that. Last month, we highlighted all the reasons why September – and October for that matter – is a great time to visit. This month, we’re detailing the many seasonal events that make this time of year in Cape May even more special.
Book your room at The Queen Victoria.
