Your visit to Ocean County would be incomplete without attending a show or concert at the famous Strand Theatre in historic downtown Lakewood. The theatre dates back to the early 1900’s and first opened its doors in 1922. At that time Lakewood attracted many rich and influential visitors and The Strand was an immediate hit. Since those days the theatre has seen many renovations and innovations, including a huge restoration project in 2000. Today the theatre operates as a Non-Profit venture and is the premier entertainment venue in Ocean County, producing music concerts, dance, theatre, comedy and holiday theatre camps for children.
