West Cape May’s Lima Bean Festival is Oct. 8

When: October 8 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.  

Where: Backyard Park, 732 Broadway, West Cape May 

West Cape May was once known as the Lima Bean Capital of the East Coast! To honor this history, help us celebrate all things Lima Bean in the Borough’s Backyard Park behind the Fire House.  

Listen to live music from local musicians while visiting talented vendors who will be offering an array of items, both Lima Bean inspired and otherwise, such as: lima bean honey, lima bean hummus, key-lima cookies, lima bean chili, lima bean soup, pulled pork, hotdogs – with or without lima bean relish, lima bean succotash, rice bowls, lima bean and black bean dip, vegan lima bean pasta fagioli, lima bean earrings, lima bean tote bags and pillows, cookies and donuts, dog ice cream and dog beer, rice bowls, pottery, candles, bird houses, sea glass art, ocean resin art, driftwood glass lawn ornaments, along with lima bean inspired crafts for kids and so much more!  

Proceeds benefit the West Cape May Shade Tree Commission and its endeavors to maintain the tree canopy of the Borough.
