I CELEBRATE WILDWOOD I 21<br />
Annual parade<br />
The annual Celebrate Wildwood parade,<br />
themed “Take a Walk on the Wildwood<br />
Side,” steps off at 10 a.m. at the Wildwood<br />
Crossing Schnucks, 16506 Manchester<br />
Road. It will move west along Manchester<br />
Road, then north onto Taylor Road at the<br />
roundabout. The parade will continue from<br />
Taylor Road onto Main Street and will end<br />
at Plaza Drive and Eastgate Lane, in Wildwood’s<br />
Town Center.<br />
Residents will be able to watch the<br />
parade from the sidewalks along the route.<br />
Floats will be judged in five categories:<br />
Best Costumes, Best Quality of Work and<br />
Construction, Overall Appearance, Best<br />
Interpretation of Event Theme, and Best<br />
Use of Materials. After the parade, opening<br />
ceremonies take place at 11: 30 a.m.<br />
Kid-friendly activities<br />
What to leave at home<br />
Glass bottles and pets are prohibited.<br />
“The city gets a bad rap for not allowing<br />
pets, but that’s the St. County Health<br />
Department’s [rule],” Crews said. “I know<br />
The festival comes packed with free,<br />
on-site entertainment opportunities that<br />
kids will love, including inflatable bounce<br />
houses, a giant water slide, a rock-climbing<br />
wall, free face painting, balloon artists and<br />
free pony rides.<br />
Local Boy Scout troops will provide outdoor-themed<br />
activities, including drone<br />
demonstrations and tomahawk throwing.<br />
“Mom and dad can bring the kids and<br />
turn them loose,” Wildwood Parks and<br />
Recreation Superintendent Gray Crews<br />
said.<br />
Most kids activities run from 11 a.m.-<br />
6:30 p.m., with face painting and Boy Scout<br />
activities phasing out around 4 p.m.<br />
everyone’s pet is a great animal, but you<br />
never know how some are going to react<br />
around all the people, all the food and<br />
stuff like that. The glass is pretty selfexplanatory.<br />
We don’t want busted glass<br />
everywhere.”<br />
