The Cape May County Coast Guard Community Festival is designed to highlight the positive relationships between our local Coast Guard personnel and the communities that we live and serve in. The festival also helps the service inform the public of the Coast Guard’s role in facilitating New Jersey maritime commerce, maritime safety, and the partnerships between local, state, and Coast Guard personnel during major events. In addition, local Coast Guard vessels and helicopters will be available for public tours. Food vendors, and live entertainment will also be available.
Training Center Cape May is the Coast Guard’s only enlisted basic training program where more than 80 percent of the service’s workforce receives basic instruction to become Coast Guard men and women.
