Firemen’s Parade will be held on Saturday at 2 p.m. along New Jersey Avenue, from Cresse Avenue in Wildwood Crest, proceeding north to 26th Avenue in North Wildwood. (Companies are still able to register from 8 am to noon)
If you do plan on viewing the parade, know that the route is about 1.4 miles long. We suggest viewing from the center of the city around Wildwood Ave. This gives you a good spot next to Wawa (food and a bathroom)
