The Wildwoods also host free Italian
and Irish festivals, weekends of food, live music and entertainment, crafts, dancing and heritage. Barbeque connoisseurs and music enthusiasts flock to the Wildwoods’ annual New Jersey State Barbeque Cham- pionship and Anglesea Blues Festival with championship barbeque teams vying for the state title while serving up mouth- watering barbeque with live blues music in North Wildwood and it’s free. The Wildwoods host two spectacular
rock ‘n roll events, back to a time when ‘45s were spun on record players and Elvis ruled the music charts: the Fabulous ‘50s Celebration in the fall, and the Sensational ‘60s Weekend in the spring. Both events feature dance parties, classic car shows, an all-day street fair and live music. Throughout the year there’s Thunder in

HAT DO YOU GET WHEN you combine one-of-a-kind value, tons of free events and
free fun things to do, a Boardwalk and beach with something for everyone, and a family friendly atmosphere second to none? The answer is the Wildwoods – one of
the best value family vacation destinations at the Jersey Shore! With more than 180 free events and festi-
vals annually, a five-mile stretch of free beau- tiful, white sand beaches and two miles of Boardwalk known for its vast array of amuse- ments, waterparks, arcades, games, shops and eateries, the Wildwoods offer a Jersey Shore experience that beckon visitors back, year after year, and creates lasting memories. The beach stretches for five miles from
North Wildwood to Wildwood and the length Wildwood Crest, sparkling clean, wide and completely free, perfect for swim- ming, soaking up the sun and relaxing on a hot summer day. Looking for some adventure? The Wild-
woods’ beaches are an ideal location for surfing, boogie boarding, power boating, jet skiing, sailing, kayaking and whale watching. The beaches have been voted the “Best Beaches in New Jersey” and took special awards for “Best Beach for Family Vacations,” “Best Beach for Tourism” and “Best Beach for Events” in the Top Ten New Jersey Beaches public survey. Overlooking the beach, the famous Wild-
68
woods Boardwalk is a unique experience for everyone, one of the liveliest stretches of fun and excitement on the East Coast. The Boardwalk offers a pure sensory overload of sights and sounds to visitors, with spectacular amusement piers, world-class roller coasters, wet and wild waterparks, carnival-style mid- way games, flashing arcades and a myriad of retail shops and eateries –more than the Mall of America! The Boardwalk is listed as one of Sherman’s Travel’s “Top Ten American Board- walks” and also played a major role in the Wildwoods being named one of
Time.com’s “50 Authentic American Experiences”. In addition to beaches and the Board-
walk, the Wildwoods have over 180 events and festivals throughout the year, offering a little something for everyone – and most of them are free. Enjoy a fun-filled festival or event almost every weekend throughout the spring, summer and fall! The Wildwoods’ annual International
Kite Festival kicks off the summer season every Memorial Day Weekend as colorful kites fill the sky, pro flyers from around the world compete and youngsters build and fly their very first kite. In June, “mibsters” from across the country gather in the Wild- woods to compete in the National Marbles Tournament, striving for the titles of King and Queen of Marbles; and beautiful babies stroll the Wildwoods Boardwalk in August during the annual Wildwoods Baby Parade, a Boardwalk tradition since 1909.
