The Wildwoods Just Launched a Massive Food & Drink Passport
The Wildwoods are about to give people another reason to come down during the middle of the week this summer.
The Greater Wildwood Chamber of Commerce has officially announced its brand-new Wildwoods Wednesday Food & Drink Passport for the 2026 season, and honestly, this feels like a smart move as the Wildwoods restaurant scene continues to rapidly grow.
According to the Chamber, more than 40 restaurants and specialty shops have already signed on to participate in the very first year of the program. The new passport experience will run every Wednesday from May 27 through December 2, 2026, or until seasonal businesses close for the year.
The concept is pretty simple.
Visitors and locals can head to participating businesses throughout the Wildwoods, scan a unique QR code at each location using the Let’s Rallie App, and automatically be entered into weekly prize drawings.
Those drawings will include gift cards to participating restaurants and specialty shops throughout the island.
The program is designed to encourage people to explore different restaurants and businesses during the week while also giving local spots another way to drive foot traffic outside of the traditional weekend rush.

And if you’ve been following the Wildwoods over the past few years, you already know the food scene here has exploded.
From upscale restaurants and cocktail bars to boardwalk staples, coffee shops, seafood spots, bakeries, and dessert destinations, there’s been a noticeable shift in how much dining has become part of the Wildwoods experience beyond just the beaches and boardwalk.
“The food scene in The Wildwoods is exploding with taste, creativity, and variety,” said Greater Wildwood Chamber of Commerce President Tracey DuFault. “We are thrilled to introduce this program as a fun and rewarding way for people to experience everything our local restaurants and specialty shops have to offer, while giving our members an innovative platform to showcase their unique offerings.”
The Chamber says participants will be able to discover everything from handcrafted cocktails and fresh seafood to sweet treats and specialty goods while increasing their chances to win prizes throughout the season.
This also feels like another sign that the Wildwoods are continuing to lean into year-round tourism and midweek activity, especially as more businesses stay open later into the fall season than ever before.
The Wildwoods Wednesday Food & Drink Passport officially launches Wednesday, May 27.
