The Wildwoods get into the full swing of the season this weekend with the 8th Annual Family Holiday Celebration, featuring a multitude of yuletide activities.

And the weather is looking awesome (highs possibly climbing into the 60s on Saturday)!

Admission to and involvement in all events is FREE.

The festivities kick off with the annual Greater Wildwood Jaycees Christmas Parade at 6 p.m. on Friday, December 11.

The route starts at 15th & Central Avenues in North Wildwood and will travel south into Wildwood and down Pacific Avenue, all the way to Heather Road in the Crest; there, it will turn east and head back up north along Ocean Avenue to the Wildwoods Convention Center.

After the parade (at approx. 7:15 p.m.), the Tree Lighting Ceremony and Parade Awards will be held directly in front of the convention center.

The Shopping Bazaar inside will begin at the same time the parade starts - 6 p.m. - and will continue into Saturday, December 12 - concurrent with the schedule of activities and performances listed on the flyer above.
