Head to the Wildwoods on Oct. 10 for a day of eating, dancing and all-out fun at this year’s annual Wildwood Seafood and Music Festival!
The festival will take place from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Atlantic Avenue between Wildwood and Schellenger aves.
The Wildwood Seafood and Music Festival is set to feature a wide variety of food vendors selling everything from ribs, chicken and sushi to sausage and peppers, funnel cakes and ice cream, and of course all types of seafood, including crab cakes and chowders.
If you think you’re up to the challenge, a pie-eating contest will be featured so if you like apple and cherry pie, don’t mind getting a little messy, and don’t want to wait until Thanksgiving to enjoy a taste a delicious treat, this contest is for you.
Winners from the children and adult divisions will each receive a trophy.
For clam chowder connoisseurs, the festival will also include a Clam Chowder Contest. Highlighted by the very best clam chowders local restaurants and eateries have to offer, the contest will offer free samples to festival-goers, who will then vote for their favorite.
The winning chowder will be announced towards the end of the festival.
A Kids’ Korner will be open for the little ones and will include pumpkin painting and face painting, a kiddy train ride and carnival games.
And what’s a Seafood and Music Festival without great music? Free musical entertainment will be set up on two stages during the festival, with a total of five bands throughout the day.
Music-lovers and festival-goers will enjoy the soulful blues of Frank Bey and the Swing City Blues Band, rock ‘n roll from the Rocktologists (a group of local doctors and a police officer), party music and famous covers from Don’t Call Me Francis, blues and boogie from Bluebone, and an eclectic mix of rock, blues, country and bluegrass from the one and only Danny Eyer Band.
The Wildwood Seafood and Music Festival is set to be an amazing day full of great seafood, great music, messy pie-filled faces and out-of-this-world clam chowder; all free.
