Wildwood Fireworks

Truly the best way to end a fun-filled week or start an exciting weekend than with a spectacular light display exploding to a musical score that’s played along the boardwalk. Every Friday night at 10 p.m. the Wildwood fireworks are launched from Pine Avenue and the Beach, visible from pretty much anywhere along the beach and boardwalk. So be sure to stop and gaze, or set up a beach chair for a few minutes of breathtaking light and color.
