Trump’s Wildwood Rally Details RELEASED
This weekend, the Wildwoods will be welcoming former President Donald Trump for the second time, his first back in January of 2020.
Since the major announcement, not much information has been released on the event until today.
We learned a ton of information from U.S. Congressman Jefferson Van Drew‘s office which we outline below,.
Trump’s Wildwood Rally will take place on Saturday, May 11th on the Wildwood beach.
By the beach, we are talking about being directly on the beach Morey’s Mariners Pier and Adventure Pier. Those streets are Schellenger Ave to Spicer Ave.
This is the same spot where the Barefoot Country Music Festival is taking place and we are going to see a similar setup for this event with some changes.
Due to the size of the beach, this area can host a decent amount of visitors. While the Barefoot County Music Festival hosted 36,000 in this area, according to Wildwood’s Mayor, Ernie Troiano, we will most likely see up to 30,000 here.

The exact number of how many will be able to answer has not been announced yet. This will be up to the Secret Service to decide.
On the boardwalk, 8-foot-tall fences have been installed with a scrim so that those on the boardwalk cannot see. This is very similar to the Barefoot Country Music Festival. This means you can’t hang out on the boardwalk to watch.
Wildwood Trump Rally’s Ticket Information
Tickets for the event are FREE and the ONLY way to get tickets is if you sign up via their website.
You will get a text message saying you have tickets, there will NOT be any other email with a ticket. The system will have your information for when you enter the beach. You will provide your information and they will confirm that you are on the list.
If you want to go and don’t have tickets you won’t be able to get in. There will also be no standing up on the boardwalk to look down on the beach. Just like the BCMF, fences will be installed on the boardwalk.
Wildwood Trump’s Rally Start Time
The doors of the event open at 12 noon with programming starting at 2 PM. According to Trump’s campaign website, you must arrive no later than 1:30 pm! There will be guest speakers talking from 2 pm until Trump speaks around 5 PM. This will only be a day event, and will not carry over into the night.,
There is a laundry list of things you can’t bring into the event.
The biggest things you can’t bring are backpacks, Alcoholic beverages, chairs, banners, coolers, drones, selfie sticks, and umbrellas. The city has a full listing breaking down all the items which you can see here.
Once inside, visitors will be able to purchase food from vendors.
Parking for the Trump’s Wildwood Rally
If you are driving to the event, understand that all the streets between Schellenger Ave. and Spencer Ave will be closed off East of Atlantic Ave.
You will have to park in lots or meters nearby. Some lots, as of today, are advertising prices for spaces up to $100. If you plan to part at a meter, do know that they are now in effect and you will have to pay to park there via the ParkMobile app.
There is a designated area drop-off for Uber and Lyft drivers at Cedar Ave and the boardwalk. This will mean you will have to walk from Cedar Ave all the way down to the main entrances at Spencer Ave.
What to Expect the Day of Trump’s Wildwood Rally
The main entrance for the event is located on Spencer Ave, next to Adventure Pier. Once you get through the entrance you will be put into a queue-line that stretches most of the beach on the North side of Adventure Pier.
Once inside you will go through the queue before getting to security who will verify you have a ticket and be screened.
Inside the fenced-in area are bathrooms if you need to go.
Since it will be raining the day before, be prepared to wear shoes that can get sandy and muddy. There were some trucks on the beach today that were stuck in the sand due to some of the rain we had.
People have already started to line up to be some of the first into the rally. Today there were 10 people set up with chairs.
The Wildwood Video Archive will be filming a video showcasing the 24 hours leading up to Trump’s Wildwood Rally.
