Summer Soulstice Hooky Day Beach Party

Ditch the daily grind and celebrate the longest day of the year with Camping Noire's Summer Soulstice Beach Hooky Day! This sun-soaked bash has always been full of good vibes, beachside relaxation, and a chance to connect with your community under the summer sky, and this year will be more of the same. So turn your out-of-office on, dust off your beach blanket, and meet us on the sand!

Yes. The cost of your ticket includes your beach access and wristband for the day.

Camping Noire will not provide food, but we will provide snacks, water, and an adult beverage option. In the meantime, we encourage our community to patronize the local black-owned Asbury Park shops & eateries.

Absolutely, children up to the age of 13 years old are free to attend. Children 13 and up must be registered to ensure a beach access wristband is available for them.

Asbury Park has a strict no-pets policy, but service animals are allowed.

We will monitor the weather, and should there be an inclement weather threat, we will communicate updates via Eventbrite. In the event of inclement weather, the primary rain date will be Saturday, June 21st.

Plenty of metered parking is available in the area, and the rates are $3/hr. Parking lots are also within walking distance and average $10-15 daily rates.

No, all tickets must be purchased in advance via online ticketing, but mainly because we need to keep a tight headcount before a beach permit is required.

According to local ordinances, it is illegal to possess alcohol on the beach. However, if alcohol vendors or sponsors are advertised by Camping Noire as approved for the event, it’s all good. However, please know that the Asbury Park beach patrol will be present on the beach, and citations can carry hefty fines and even J*il time if these guidelines are not abided by, so drink at your own risk, boo.

No, the state of New Jersey prohibits using smoking products or devices in parks and beaches. However, as with alcohol, citations can carry hefty fines and even J*il time if these guidelines are not abided by, so smoke at your own risk, boo.

Asbury Park Boardwalk has a no-ride zone, and biking is the only wheel sport permitted. Biking is allowed up until 10:00 AM.

Technically, there is no dress code, but remember this is a family-friendly event, and the babies don’t need to see errythang!

We want to support every sister-owned business, and if you wish to vend at any Camping Noire event, contact us for a vendor application. Until we approve your vendor application, we ask that you do not attend with the intent to vend. All patrons vending without approval will be asked to leave and not receive a refund.

While pre-packaged food is allowed, any heating, cooking, or food preparation devices are strictly prohibited. And keep in mind that food vendors are within walking distance on the Asbury Park Boardwalk, so leave the cooking at home!

You are more than welcome to come on your own. In fact, we encourage it! The Camping Noire sisterhood is a circle of dope womxn, and there will be plenty of opportunities to form new friendships!

Yes! Asbury Park Beach provides beach wheelchairs and ramps to ensure everyone can access the beach.
