What’s Happening Over the Holiday Weekend
The island is pulling out all the stops for a spectacular multi-day celebration. When you book your stay, you’ll be steps away from a massive lineup of community events:
-
Independence Day Family and Pooch Parade (Saturday, July 4th): A beloved local tradition in North Wildwood. Gather in the morning to see bikes, wagons, scooters, and dressed-up pups parading down JFK Avenue in their finest red, white, and blue.
-
Live Music & Historical Celebrations: On July 4th, head to Fox Park (right across from the Convention Center) from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM to catch the Jump City Jazz Orchestra performing “The Song Book of America.” Meanwhile, Wildwood Crest kicks off its festivities at Centennial Park at 6:45 PM with a live reading of the Declaration of Independence followed by the Legacy Band.
-
The 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular: The main event happens at 10:00 PM on Saturday, July 4th. This massive fireworks display is launched from the beach at Pine Avenue and is fully synchronized to patriotic music playing over the famous Wildwoods Boardwalk sound system.
-
Weekend Extras: Beyond the holiday events, you can explore the Sports Cards, Toys, Comics & Collectibles Show at the Convention Center all weekend long, or browse more than 70 local vendors at the Downtown Wildwoods Farmers Market at Byrne Plaza on Saturday morning.
