8:00 PM – 2:00 AM
$15 Cover (Included in ALL Weekend Passes)
Join your friends and over 1,000 guests in Asbury Park's Convention Hall for one of the weekend’s most popular event: LOST AT SEA sponsored by BUMP at The Den and CLEVER Underwear. Start the night with cocktails on Convention Hall’s north, east and south balconies overlooking the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean. You'll find plenty of ocean view tables and seating around the entire Convention Hall for you to eat, drink and party all night long PLUS cruise the hotties at the same time! Our CLEVER Underwear models will be wandering through the crowd showing off their wares.
Chill out in the Beach Bar with music by Russell Lewis & Adam Kenter of Watermark and count on dancing to breakout in Aqua Lounge as the night builds and the moon rises over the ocean with fist pumping music by one of Asbury Park’s favorite sons, DJ James Anthony, who returns to the Jersey Shore to make his Sand Blast debut, and DJ Whitney Day, who’s taken NYC by storm with her funky, popular and soul-inflected house and electro music and seamless on-the-fly mash-ups. Their positive vibe will keep the dance-floors packed with bodies shaking to thumping beats. A wristband gets you in and out of Lost At Sea all night, so explore the boardwalk & the beach as well.
