The Wildwoods Fall Festival fills Fox Park with free family entertainment each October, including live bands, a beer garden and food and craft vendors across from the Wildwoods Convention Center. The Greater Wildwood Chamber of Commerce runs it as one of the last big free events of the shore season. It caps a run of fall festivals the Wildwoods hosts through September and October.

One of the oldest seaside resorts in the country, burned nearly flat in 1878 and rebuilt all at once in the gingerbread style of that single decade, so it is now the largest collection of Victorian houses in America, a whole town of them, a National Historic Landmark entire.
