New Jersey’s biggest festival is back on the boardwalk in Asbury Park this weekend.

Saturday kicked off the seventh edition of Sea.Hear.Now. There’s more to it than the music - there are surf contests, beach yoga, local art and vendors along the boardwalk in a celebration of the end of summer down the shore.

The concert lineup is stacked. Saturday was headlined by Hozier and featured Rock and Roll Hall of Famers ZZ Top, hip hop royalty De La Soul, Australian pop-rock duo Royel Otis and plenty more. Sunday is all about the ‘90s with Blink-182, Lenny Kravitz and Sublime taking the stage.

Festivalgoers called it “the perfect Jersey Shore experience” as the weather held out for a picturesque summer day.

Here’s everything you need to know about the festival.
