Once again, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Jersey will take part in the event and each competing team will raise money for the organization. 

This will be the fourth Manasquan Inlet Tug of War, pitting Manasquan and Point Pleasant Beach. Manasquan has won two of the first three including the 2021 edition, which came down to the final heat. 

The event is a series of tugs of war across the nearly 500-foot wide Manasquan Inlet that opens up to the Atlantic Ocean, all while raising money for the recreation departments in both Manasquan and Point Pleasant Beach. The event is run entirely by volunteers and on donations and funds raised from the event.

There are festivals on each side of the Inlet featuring live bands, food trucks, beer tents “Chug at the Tug”, local artisan craft vendors, kids & family activities; and more!
