If you're looking for live entertainment, the North Wildwood Fall Irish Festival is the place to go. From early afternoon through the wee hours of the morning, you can enjoy live music, comedy, and more throughout town. Bands, bagpipers, dancers, and more are yours to enjoy on the streets and in the area's pubs. Make time for the Friday night ceili -- a traditional Irish dance party -- at the North Wildwood Recreation Community Center. The final day of the Irish Fall Festival starts with a traditional Catholic Mass at St. Ann's Roman Catholic Church on Glenwood and Atlantic Avenues.
