Finishing off the summer is the 2010 adaptation of the first book in the series by Jeff Kinney. Greg gets through middle school thanks to the help of his illustrated journal.

This free event is organized by the Chamber of Commerce and the City of Cape May. Movies will play at 8:15pm on Thursdays throughout the summer on the beach next to Convention Hall. (Don’t worry—it’s hard to miss the enormous blow-up screen.) Since the event is at night, you don’t need a beach tag. Bring your own beach chairs and towels, and you might want to toss a sweatshirt in your bag. It can get cold by the water.
