This Weekend in the Wildwoods, May 29th to May 31st
Last weekend’s Memorial Day weekend may have been a washout for many visitors, but this weekend is shaping up to be a much different story.
While summer doesn’t officially begin for a few more weeks, the Wildwoods are set to get a nice taste of the season with temperatures expected to hover in the upper 60s and low 70s. It may not be the classic hot beach weather many dream about, but it should be perfect for strolling the boardwalk, enjoying the beach in a light sweater, and getting back outside after last weekend’s rain.
If you’re planning a trip to the Wildwoods this weekend, here is a look at some of the events taking place across the island.
