    Borough officials are set to announce a major outdoor music festival for this summer in Seaside Heights, according to a report on APP.com.

    Citing a release from the Ocean County barrier island borough, the report says officials will hold a press conference at 11 a.m. on March 2 at the Casino Pier Arcade to announce details about the two-day “world class folksy” music festival.

    Among the questions the release asked is “Who is the Grammy-winning headlining band?” according to the report. 

    The borough is home to the annual Seaside Music Festival each May. Last August, numerous arrests and overdoses were reported at an electronic music festival.
