THE WILDWOODS — New Jersey Division of Travel & Tourism Executive Director Grace Hanlon joined the Greater Wildwoods Tourism Improvement & Development Authority (GWTIDA) Executive Director/CFO John Siciliano and all of the major fall event promoters today for a press conference to kick off the Wildwoods fall event season.
The press conference, which took place in front of the Wildwoods sign at Rio Grande Avenue & the Boardwalk, demonstrated that the excitement in the Wildwoods extends well into the fall and early winter months – a time period the Wildwoods fondly calls its Second Season.
Event promoters and representatives from major Second Season events were also on hand to tout the success of Second Season during which thinner crowds and warm fall weather make for the best time to be at the shore. Reps from The Roar to the Shore Motorcycle Rally, Mummers String Band Show, Irish Fall Festival, Boardwalk Classic Car Show & Classic Car Auction, Seafarer’s Celebration, Olde Time Italian Festival, Monster Truck Races, Seafood and Music Festival, the NEW Zombie Mud Run, The Governor’s Cup Hydrofest Powerboat Races and the Fabulous ‘50s & Beyond Weekend addressed attendees, adding to the excitement of the morning and anticipation of the coming months.
“While many shore towns take a break as the temperatures cool and the kids return to school, the Wildwoods are revving things up once again for Second Season,,” executive director of GWTIDA John Siciliano said. “We provide funding of about $600K each year to host these special events and themed weekends which has been a proven method to bring business to our local hotels and restaurants during the non-traditional tourist season.”
Fall in the Wildwoods means beautiful weather, signature events and exciting festivals that draw hundreds of thousands of visitors even after summer has ended extending the tourist season well into Nov.
