AsburyFest took over Bradley Park this weekend to help kick off the summer season.

The annual tradition draws around 15,000-20,000 people.

This celebration brings together festival food favorites, local vendors and a packed lineup of live music.

It's put on by the Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce.

The event was originally known as the Asbury Park Oyster Fest. It was changed four years ago by organizers to showcase all the things that make Asbury great.

"It has become a tradition for so many people to come out to AsburyFest," said Matt Whelan, the executive director or the Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce.

This year, some proceeds will go toward Interfaith Neighbors, an organization that helps those who need it most.
