One of my favorite events of the year is right around the corner: Red Bank RiverCenter's annual Girls' Night Out!

Coming up on Thursday, October 20th, it's a great chance to spend a night out with your friends in one of the coolest spots around the Jersey Shore.

Check-in begins at 4:30 p.m. at Two River Theater (12 Bridge Ave.) and will run until 7 p.m. There you'll be able to pick up your free tote bag (perfect for holding all the swag you can pick up throughout the night!) and enjoy fun activities and giveaways, along with information on women's wellness courtesy of Riverview Medical Center!

Be sure to stop by the 94.3 the Point table to win more goodies, too!

Starting at 5 p.m., you can head downtown to enjoy shopping promotions and discounts, dinner and drink specials, and more prizes! Bonus, Long Branch Trolley is providing transportation from the Two River Theater to downtown if you don't want to walk!

There are more than two dozen local businesses taking part in Girls Night Out including Pinot's Palette, Carter & Cavero Old World Olive Oil Company, Sorella Bella boutique, The Bee, Waxing the City, Lux Beauty Store, Renaissance Pilates, Alex and Ani, Goldtinker jewelers and plenty more. Get the full list of participating businesses at redbank.org.

If you pre-register for Girls Night Out, you'll also be in the running to win a $50 Red Bank gift card, good at dozens of participating Red Bank businesses. (To pre-register, click HERE.)

Bonus, you can join me for the night and do it up as a VIP. You and a friend will join me for the night, you'll get a VIP swag bag stuffed with goodies from participating businesses, and we'll hang out, walk around, do some shopping, and eventually head to Patrizia's for some complimentary wine and light bites. It's always a lot of fun! Listen to the Point all this week from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. for your chance to win the upgrade!

See you there!
