💙 MILLER’S WEEKEND TIP
This may be one of the busiest September weekends in the Wildwoods.
Between the ✈️ Air Show, 🎺 Mummers, 🚙 VW show, 🍔 Food & Music Festival and everything else happening, arrive early and park once when possible.
And remember — Wildwood beaches are FREE, so you don’t need a beach tag to grab a spot and watch the planes!
