These 3 Events Are Coming To Camden County This Weekend

CAMDEN COUNTY, NJ — Here's a list of upcoming events in Camden County, courtesy of our friends at Visit South Jersey, the official Destination Marketing Organization for Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Salem counties, and the Outer Coast Plain Wine Region in South Jersey.

Battleship New Jersey in Camden will host an After Hours Engine Room Guided Tour 6 p.m. Friday night. Descend into the armored citadel of the ship for a 90-minute, family friendly, guided, walking tour of the most powerful engineering plant ever installed on a battleship. Learn how steam powered engines moved the massive ship at record-breaking speeds, and see the spaces crew members worked in. This hands-on walking tour is fun for all ages and allows guests to climb down seven stories into a fire room to see the huge boilers, an engine room to see the turbines and throttle wheels, and one of the ship’s many steering positions. Tickets are $30 for adults and $25 for children 12 and under. Tickets are limited and will sell out quickly.

Take a Food Tour of Downtown Collingswood from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Prepare your palate for delicious traditional and modern Indian Cuisine. You’ll also have an opportunity to eat fresh, chef prepared food from the newest “kid on the block,” Haddon Culinary. We’ll whisk you away, just several blocks down the road, to taste the flavors of Mexico in several authentic handcrafted dishes. Next, enjoy a unique tasting experience of international olive oils and vinegars. Stop by a modern pâtisserie for a bite and a bakery lesson from the pastry chef. If you like nostalgic candy and chocolate indulgence, you won’t want to miss this candy shop visit of sweet heaven.
