The ‘Summer Boardwalk’, opening on July 22 in the Plaza, will be reminiscent of the boardwalk amusement parks which sprung up across the coasts of the USA at the turn of the century.
Guests can step back in time as they step onto the fully decked boardwalk, complete with festoon lights, an illuminated entrance arch, and ragtime music.
