Summer 2026 Night Climbs and Other Events
Join us on Friday, August 7th, 2026, National Lighthouse Day, to pay tribute to our lighthouse. Children will be able to earn a Junior Lighthouse Keeper Certificate by coming to the Interpretive Center between 10-2 and answering questions about the history and characteristics of Barnegat Lighthouse.
Note: National Lighthouse Day is celebrated each year on August 7th. On August 7 in 1789, Congress approved an Act for the establishment and support of lighthouses. In celebration of the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Act, Congress passed a resolution on August 7, 1989, designating August 7th as the day to recognize lighthouses.
