You’re gonna be down the shore in August, yeah? Go see the Sixers while you’re there. Bring the wife and kids.

The team is headed back to South Jersey for the 19th straight summer, visiting Ocean City, Cape May, Wildwood, Avalon, and Stone Harbor from the 21st to the 25th.

It’s similar to years past, with players and alumni on hand, plus Franklin and the dunk squad and some Dunkin Donuts giveaways. Entry is free and a limited number of free autograph vouchers will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis at the Stone Harbor event. I’m not sure if they’re doing signings at the other stops, but I will “effort” that information.

It’s a cool event. Robert Covington and Markelle Fultz were there last year:

Justin Anderson was also down there. I think it’s usually 3-4 players, but I could be wrong. They’ll release specific info about which players are involved a little bit later.

And here’s the flyer they’re gonna be using:
