Welcome to Wildwood EventApp

The City of Wildwood requires all organizations, corporations, non-profits, and/or individuals planning an event to complete an appliciation through EventApp, for review by the Special Events Department. All first time event applicants must complete a Special Event Meeting during the review process. This meeting will include a representative from the Police Department, Fire Department, Public Works and Special Events Department.  All Departments must be in agreement to move forward with an application. This application must be fully completed, along with a site plan, certificate of insurance and any other supporting documents 90 days in advance of the event date in order to generate a special event permit. Applications will not be reviewed until all information is properly submitted. 

Any Additional Cost to any Department involved in the event is to be borne by event organizer or the organization.

All Special Event Permit fees are due at least 2 week prior to your event date.  This includes all Vendor fees, Open Flame Permits , Tent Permits and Production Permits.  Type 1 Open Flame/Tent Permit fees will double if not submitted two weeks prior to event date and no onsite day of event open flame permits will be granted.  All City Personnel Labor Fees, Use of City Property & Equipment fees will be billed after the event.  Please reference the City of Wildwood Code and current Special Event Ordinance for all fees associated with special event permits.

The submission of a Special Event Application for the City of Wildwood does not automatically approve your event. The City of Wildwood reserves the right to reject a permit application.  This includes the right of refusal of an event if fees for a prior year’s event have not been paid in full. 

An ABC Permit is required for any event serving alcohol.  Said permit must be displayed at the event.  In addition to your ABC Permit, event applicant must submit an Alcohol Management Plan.

Any events selling and/or serving food must be filed and in accordance with the Cape May County Health Department.  For more information please visit the Cape May County website.

Once a completed application is submitted, the application will be subject to review by all departments.  All applications will be subjected to a 30-day review.  Some may require a 14 day and 7 day review prior to their event.
