WILDWOOD – The 102nd Wildwoods Baby Parade, which took place on Wednesday, August 3 along the Wildwoods Boardwalk, was a fun-filled event full of smiles and the cutest little ones from across the tri-state area.
This year’s special Baby Parade drew in more than 80 of the region’s most adorable children, along with parading stringbands, dancing mascots, floats and huge crowds of parents, family, friends and vacationers – all there to take part in the festivities and admire the costumed youngsters.
Elaborate costumes, decorated wagons and detailed floats were displayed during the Baby Parade. Themes used at this year’s parade ranged from lifeguards and sailors to princesses and Phillies cheerleaders.
