The Cape May Music Festival takes over our charming Victorian town from May 26 to June 15, 2011. Shortly after the Cape May Spring Festival ends the Music Festival begins. That’s one reason we love running a Cape May Bed and Breakfast – there is always something fun to do here.

Enchanting orchestral music fills the air during the Cape May Music Festival, as does chamber music and world music. This is a delightful time to stay at our Cape May Bed and Breakfast. There are concerts every other night.

Babatunde Lea Quartet will be at the 2011 Cape May Music Festival.
