Cape May Area Best Bets June 25- July 1

Posted 6/25/07

Live the big city life this weekend, without leaving the shore.

Italian Festival

North Wildwood's take on the classic Italian Festival is as close as you'll get to NYC'S Mulberry St. festival. There's the parade, the food, the dollar bills stashed by the saint's statue, the music. But of course, everyone goes for the food.. Italian sausage and pepper sandwiches, veal and peppers, beer, ice cream..and there's dinner. Maybe you should save room for a cannoli or two. Weekend festival starts Friday night on Olde New Jersey Ave in North Wildwood.
