Exit Zero International Jazz Festival brings crowds back to the Shore
Sandy aftermath: It will take time to clean up in Belmar In Cape May, the show must go on If you drive all the way south on the Garden State Parkway you'll end up in one of the most celebrated shore towns in America; Cape May. While there is no exit zero on the GSP if there was one it would be here. It's that idea that the first ever Exit 0 International Jazz Festival takes its name.
This festival might not have happened had the eye of Hurricane Sandy hit further south. But Cape May got lucky because the eye hit just north in Ocean City and points south of the eye got high winds and rough waves but nothing like the extensive flooding seen on the barrier islands in Central and Northern Jersey.
The festival features more than 20 bands and performers.
