Don’t forget, it’s Local’s Night on the Washington Street Mall this Friday from 5-7pm. The Cape May City will not be enforcing parking during the event so it’s Free Parking 🎉 We’ll also have live music happening at both ends of the Mall. We will be serving refreshments & offering 10% off all regularly priced merchandise at both stores! Thank you for your years of support & we hope to see all your smiling faces this Friday at Whale’s Tale & Splash: Whale's Tale Gallery! 🐳
