End-of-Summer Bash & Bonfire
S'mores sweeten the inevitably sour end of vacation in this chamber of commerce fund-raiser, which also includes a beach-top game garden (giant checkers, cornhole), food, drinks, and a BYOB policy wherein the final B needs to be contained in plastic. The finale: fireworks, of course.
6-10 p.m. Friday, Rio Grande Avenue & the beach, Wildwood, $10, $5 ages 3-11, 609-729-4000, gwcoc.org
The 5th Dimension
Fivesome delivers songs you know — "Stoned Soul Picnic," "Age of Aquarius," "Up, Up and Away" — even if the faces don't fully match those of 40-some years ago. This concert — Florence LaRue remains the only original member — benefits the arts education programs of the locally-based Schultz-Hill Foundation.
8:30 p.m., Friday, Resorts, 1133 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, $35-$175, 800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com

This popular three-part race, now in its 15th year, aims to appeal to a variety of fitness levels. Choose from an Olympic tri: 0.6 miles of swimming, 18 miles of biking, and 5 miles of running; a "sprint:" 0.25-mile swim, a 10-mile bike ride, and a 5-K run; and a kids' choice: a 250-yard swim, 2-mile bike ride, and 1-mile run, or shorter combos of swimming and running.

Stevie Wonder
A.C. is the second stop on Wonder's four-city tour, "Song Party: A Celebration of Life, Love & Music." The mega star invites audience members to bring LPs and memories for these intimate, interactive concerts of hits and a song or two from his upcoming Through the Eyes of Wonder album. The ticket price is a worthy splurge.

Toby Keith & Trace Adkins
The new Hard Rock keeps the country thing going by hosting a couple of outspoken, cowboy-hat-sporting hit makers from Oklahoma (by way of Villanova) and Louisiana, respectively. They just might pair up for "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue"
