The Southern New Jersey Coast Guard Ball is a distinguished celebration recognizing the dedication, history, and contributions of Coast Guard members who serve and protect our coastal communities. This elegant event brings together service members, families, and the public for an evening of tradition, camaraderie, and tribute. Held in a city deeply connected to Coast Guard training and maritime service, the ball honors Cape May’s proud military heritage while commemorating the city’s 175th anniversary and the 250th anniversary of the United States.
