CAPE MAY, NJ – Today, Cape May – Lewes Ferry (CMLF) officials announced that the popular “Sunday Jamz" Ferry Cruises will return for the 2026 summer season. Following a wildly successful revival in 2025, the seasonal event will once again transform standard afternoon crossings into a unique floating concert experience, combining live acoustic music, fresh sea breezes, and spectacular views of the Delaware Bay.

Beginning Sunday, July 5, and continuing every Sunday through August 30, passengers can enjoy laid-back acoustic sets performed by local and regional musicians on the deck. The live entertainment is scheduled during peak afternoon sailing trips, offering tourists, beachgoers, and local residents the perfect soundtrack to wind down their summer weekends.

"We are thrilled to bring Sunday Jamz back to the Delaware Bay for another fantastic season," said Jennifer Shivers, Assistant Director of Ferry Operations.   "Our passengers love the easygoing combination of live music and scenic sailing. It elevates the ferry ride from a transit crossing into a memorable summer tradition, and we look forward to welcoming families and music lovers on board all season long."
