TOMS RIVER, N.J. — The Toms River Summer Concert Series kicks off Tuesday night with a performance by children’s musician Mr. Ray at Shelter Cove Beach, located at 1390 Bay Avenue. The show begins at 7 p.m. and admission is free.

Hosted by Mayor Dan Rodrick and Toms River Recreation, the event invites families to bring blankets or chairs and enjoy live music and food in a relaxed, outdoor setting. Mr. Ray is known for his interactive performances geared toward young audiences.

The Summer Concert Series is alcohol-free, pet-free, and smoke-free. Drones are not permitted at the venue, and there will be no parking allowed on Bay Avenue.

“We invite residents to pull up a beach chair or watch the show from their boat in the bay,” said Mayor Dan Rodrick. “This year, we have a great lineup of family-friendly concerts on the beach, with fireworks and I can’t wait to see everyone come out.”
