Manahawkin Japanese Lake Carnival celebration, 1916
New Jersey Courier 14 Jul 1916 The staging of the Manahawkin Annual Japanese Lake Carnival celebration on July Fourth was the biggest success ever attempted in that town and the presence of such a large crowd of pleased people has resulted in the adoption of next year's program which will surprise them all for attractive features and wholesome sport. The big pageant was a success from every point of view and it would be hard to say just which feature drew the largest crowd, however, next year will see the elimination of the field events and quatic sports with a big baby parade to fill the gap.
