On Tuesday July 28th Wildwood had its 106th annual Baby Parade on the Wildwood Boardwalk. This parade has been a Wildwood tradition since 1909 and has grown to include 6 different categories. Babies and children up to 12 years old are judged on their cuteness, creativity and style. The parade also includes Queen Oceania and her court and Miss North Wildwood and this year the parade included Queen Oceania 1944.  The Grand Marshall’s of the parade were some of the stars from the Harlem Globetrotters who had their first show on Wednesday and will be entertaining families through Saturday.

The parade route started at the convention center and ended on 16th street in N. Wildwood where prizes were awarded to all the winners. Even though it was very hot and a long walk the kids and babies had a good time and I was very impressed with the creativity of all including my own children who participated in the Fancy Children category which is for children in costume. My youngest daughter was entered in the Cutest Baby category and didn’t win but we still think she is cute. (FYI Cutest Boy and Cutest Girl is the hardest to Judge because they are all so cute)

Here are some of my favorites from the night.
