Lighthouse International Film Festival
Director Guy Nattiv’s award-winner Skin opened LBI’s 11th annual film festival Thursday night (June 6), and the insightful documentary American Factory from Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar closes it. In between are the Twainian adventure movie The Peanut Butter Falcon, Jesse Eisenberg in The Art of Self Defense, more award-winners and world premieres, screenwriting workshops, and surf flicks.
Through Sunday, various times and locations, including Long Beach Island Foundation for the Arts & Sciences, 120 Long Beach Blvd., Long Beach Township, $12-$15 per screening (festival pass: $125), lighthousefilmfestival.org
New Year’s in North Wildwood
Like Christmas in July, New Year’s in June brings that holiday’s only-in-Philly tradition down the Shore, with the winning fancy brigades and string bands parading on Old New Jersey Avenue on Saturday. Get an early start on Friday night with a Mummers pub crawl.

Beach Goes Red, White & Blue
Rehoboth Beach does Independence Day early with a salute to service members of all stripes. A military village, vehicle displays (including firetrucks), a vintage plane flyover, USO Show Troupe performance, and loads of kids’ activities make for a full day’s tribute fun.

Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds
The prolific R&B hitmaker behind “Exhale (Shoop Shoop),” “I’ll Make Love to You,” “Take a Bow,” “End of the Road,” and endless more hits (not to mention new jack swing itself) brings his soul-drenched, falsetto-smooth stylings to A.C.

Wildwood Beer Fest
A Fox Park pop-up pours dozens of local brews in two time slots — guests get to come to only one. Live music, food-truck fare, and craft vendors are part of the 21-and-up-only event.

Pentatonix
Forever redefining the barbershop quartet, this fivesome makes voices their instruments in dramatic, crowd-pleasing retellings of hits both newer (“Shallow,” “Radioactive”) and not so new (“Jolene,” “The Sounds of Silence”).
8 p.m., Sunday, Etess Arena at Hard Rock Live, 1000 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, $39-$119, 800-653-8000, ptxofficial.com
