SOUTH JERSEY (KYW Newsradio) — It’s shoulder season down the Shore, or "locals summer" — and there’s still plenty of fun left.

Philadelphia Eagles legend Jeremiah Trotter has a VIP meet-and-greet for fans at the Eagles home opener watch party at Draftkings Sportsbook at Resorts Casino. Saturday is the Wildwoods Food and Music Festival. And the Ocean City Pops host a special night with the Duprees at music pier on Saturday.

Jane’s Addiction with Love and Rockets
The ’80s meet the ’90s on Saturday night, when Love and Rockets join Jane’s Addiction on their North American tour. Love and Rockets, back again after about 15 years, created a fusion of underground rock and pop music that became an early catalyst for alternative rock. Fitting, then, that they should open for Jane's Addiction, the band that took alternative rock mainstream. Expect hits from critically acclaimed and generation-defining albums Nothing's Shocking and Ritual de lo Habitual, as well as a dip into their newest album, Imminent Redemption.
When: Saturday, Sept. 7, 8 p.m.
Where: Hard Rock Hotel, 1000 Boardwalk, Atlantic City
