Editor's note: Due to the forecast for rain, Beachstock has been postponed from Saturday, June 27, to its rain date of Sunday, June 28. All scheduled activities are expected to take place on Sunday.

Beachstock will now take place on Sunday, June 28, after organizers postponed the annual Margate festival because of the forecast for rain. The free event will feature live music, surf activities, family entertainment and a beach bonfire along the shoreline

The free festival runs from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on the beach between Huntington and Granville avenues. Organizers say more than 8,000 people attend the annual event, which features food vendors, craft vendors, beach sports, live entertainment and activities throughout the day.

New this year, the Jetty x Ben Gravy Pineapple Classic will bring a surf competition to Margate's shoreline. Professional surfer Ben Gravy is scheduled to appear, and Stacey's Surf Camp will offer free surf lessons for attendees looking to catch their first wave.

The Phillie Phanatic also will make a special appearance, and visitors can take photos with two Lombardi Trophies from the Eagles' Super Bowl victories. Other activities include sand sculpting lessons, kite demonstrations, a wiffle ball home run derby, volleyball and cornhole tournaments, face painting and hair braiding.

Beachstock After Dark will feature a beach bonfire, Polynesian fire dancing, a screening of "The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants" and a performance by South Jersey band iCandee. The beachfront Tiki Bar will remain open through the evening festivities.

A complimentary jitney shuttle will operate from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. along Atlantic Avenue.
