Seaside Heights hosts 3-day music event
Seaside Heights is celebrating the success of its largest music event.
The Jersey Shore town played host to a three-day music festival this weekend called "Gentlemen of the Road Stopover."
Seaside Heights officials estimate that 30,000 to 35,000 people attended the event, providing a financial boost on a weekend that wouldn't normally be as crowded.
While there is no word on exactly how much money was brought into Seaside Heights over the weekend, town officials compare it to a lucrative Fourth of July weekend.
Police say that there were no arrests related to the concert.
