Mayor's Message

Happy New Year to all!

 

We had a wonderful holiday season here in Sea Isle City, and our 2025 events were very well attended and brought a great amount of joy to many people. I hope you were able to enjoy the numerous events and activities that took place, including the “holiday happenings” hosted by the city as well as the various Christmas events sponsored by the wonderful civic organizations and churches that call Sea Isle City home. Later in December, when New Year’s Eve arrived, our town was bustling with homeowners and visitors who were happy to welcome 2026 in their favorite seaside community (and enjoy our annual New Year’s Eve fireworks display).
