Wildwoods ‘Thunder Over the Waves’ Airshow: September 5 & 6:
This brand new FREE family-friendly event, a four-hour airshow, is expected to draw over 200,000 spectators. Thrill to 11 headlining acts including military flyovers by the NJ Air National Guard, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, and Dover Air Force Base, plus performances by the Fighter Jets Inc. MIG-17PF Jet Team, ACEMAKER Solo Aerobatic Demos in the T-33 Shooting Star, Jerry Conley in the DH-115 Vampire Jet among many other jets and propeller aircraft executing incredible aerobatic performances. The US Army Golden Knights Parachute Team will also be a part of the event along with the US Coast Guard.
The Wildwoods strong infrastructure and venue capacity make it an ideal backdrop for the airshow, as it regularly hosts large scale events such as the Barefoot Country Music Festival. VIP spectator bleachers on the beach, similar to those used for the Wildwoods’ other large scale outdoor events, would provide choice seating. Additional exclusive VIP viewing areas at local hotels, piers and businesses would enhance the experience for attendees.
GWTIDA anticipates this addition to its events schedule will support local businesses and further establish the Wildwoods as a premier event destination and help to extend the traditional tourism season into the Fall. 800-992-9732 , www.WildwoodsNJ.com
