Sherlock Holmes Weekend is held each spring and fall in Cape May, New Jersey. This year, it takes place from:

• November 3 to November 5
• November 10 to November 12

Sherlock Holmes Weekend promises visitors a murder-party-style weekend of intrigue, mystery-solving, and live performances. That’s not all! Visitors to this event get to see an original Sherlock Holmes story — written by different writers — played out in front of them. Sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities (MAC), this bi-annual event delights visitors and locals alike from Friday through Sunday.

This year’s play is “The Other Consulting Detective”:

Sherlock Holmes has long claimed that he is the only man in his profession. But when his newest case brings visitors from across the pond seeking to solve the same mystery, will they learn to cooperate, or only compete?

The play begins Friday evening and ends on Sunday with the mystery revealed! Stalk the streets of Cape May in your own search of clues to help fill in the missing pieces while competing for the grand prize: a weekend for two to next year’s performance. Tickets include all performances.
