PRESS RELEASE
The Wildwoods, NJ – For many, it’s a yearly pilgrimage; for some, it’s a first time excursion; for all involved, it’s one of the most exciting and fun weekends of the year. The Wildwoods Roar to the Shore Motorcycle Rally, the largest free motorcycle rally in the northeast, is set for Thursday, September 4 through Sunday, September 7, featuring free live entertainment, motorcycle vendors, food and merchandise vendors and great events all weekend long.

Just ride in and once you are here, sit back, relax and enjoy the festivities, or take a ride along the scenic roads of Cape May County. Stroll through hundreds of national vendors located throughout five separate vending lots peddling everything from cigars, to leather, to jewelry to motorcycles. Whether you’re looking for motorcycle parts, paint or patches, you’re guaranteed to find what you’re looking for here.
Roar to the Shore will also include events such as a guided ride to Kindle Ford for a pig roast; a FREE Walking Poker Run; Biker Babe Contest; Rubber Duck Boardwalk Ride and Harley Davidson Motorcycle Give Away; Battle of the Biker Bands Semi-Finals and Finals; and a Custom Boardwalk Bike Show.
New this year will be the Inaugural Bike Lights Show, held on Pacific Avenue between Oak and Schellenger Avenues on Friday, September 5 from 7:45 - 9:45 p.m. These LED marvels will light up the night, competing to be named the best in one of seven categories.
