Celebrate Wildwood
Wildwood Town Center
The city's annual birthday bash: parade, live music, food and craft booths, and kids' activities. The big one of the year.
Entry: The Wildwood Calendar
The town's social season, by the month
Wildwood keeps a small-town calendar: markets and concerts when it's warm, festivals when the leaves turn, and a whole winter of stubborn people hiking anyway. Here's the year in one place.
Dated, this year

October 11
Tour de Wildwood
Routes across the city
A fall bike ride that shows off the hills, the forests, and exactly why the roads are this curvy.
October 23
Shivering Shadows 7K
Zombie Road
A nighttime Halloween run along one of the county's nicknamed roads. Costumes encouraged, headlamps required.
Every year, same as clockwork
The recurring good stuff
Dates shift a little each season; the city's official calendar is the authority. These are the faithful recurring anchors.
Saturdays, May to October
Wildwood Farmers Market
Town Center, 8 a.m. to noon
Produce, honey, crafts, and the town's weekly handshake. The calendar and the market are the same event in Wildwood.
May to August
Music on Main
The Village Green, summer evenings
A free concert series that turns the green into a lawn-chair orchestra pit. Bring a blanket and a cooler.
January
Cabin Fever Hiking Challenge & Frozen Feet Half
The trail system
The city's cheerful answer to winter: hike the trails anyway. The Frozen Feet Half Marathon earns its name.
Spring
Spring Egg Hunt & Arbor Day
City parks
Baskets on the grass, and a free sapling giveaway that keeps Wildwood wooded one tree at a time.
June
Green Rock Trail Challenge
Rockwoods Reservation
A six-mile hike on National Trails Day, the official kickoff of summer trail season.
November to December
Holiday Artisan Fair & Tree Lighting
Town Center
Shoppers' fair in November, then the tree lighting that closes the year the way Wildwood does: outside, in the cold, together.
How to stay in the loop
Don't trust a neighbor to remember for you
The City of Wildwood publishes the official event calendar and a free e-newsletter. Between those and the Saturday market, you'll hear about everything that matters in time to show up.
