Naval Air Station Wildwood (NASW) Aviation Museum is thrilled to announce the totally revamped 2024 Wings & Things Arts and Crafts Festival, featuring Modern Muscle & Exotic Cars. Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 29 from 10am-4pm for an event you won’t want to miss!
This year, NASW has elevated the excitement by showcasing three unique vehicles from a private collection. Attendees will be able to marvel at one of the most photographed cars at the Shelby Museum, a stunning 2013 Shelby Super Snake wide-body. Also on display will be a 2012 Shelby 1000 wide-body and a 2017 Ford GT Heritage Edition. A highlight of the festival is “Taxi Hour,” where select vehicles will fire up their engines and prowl the museum grounds, creating an unforgettable experience for car enthusiasts. Additionally, Modern Muscle Cars will line up outside of historic Hangar #1 and will be a part of Blinker Fluid Production’s Modern Muscle Car Invasion.
The entire family will find something to enjoy with free children’s crafts all day long and adult craft classes including wood bird carving, and fairy light jars. Free face painting (1130am-230pm) and caricatures (11am-2pm), craft vendors, exhibitors, and much more! Join us for a day filled with amazing cars, aircraft, music, food, and fun at the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum’s 2024 Wings & Things Arts and Crafts Festival.
Festivalgoers can also enjoy live country and rock music by DEVLIN (formerly Country Rogue) on the main stage. A Beer & Wine Garden will offer ice-cold beer and wine, perfect for a leisurely afternoon. Food and refreshments will be available from various vendors, including Patriot Concessions, Pirate Pete’s Soda Pop Co., Rita’s Water Ice of Rio Grande, Waffle Up, and Poppin Bobs.
Funding has been made possible in part by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts / Department of State, the National Endowment for the Arts, and The Cape May County Board of County Commissioners through the Division of Culture & Heritage.
Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum is located inside historic Hangar #1 at the Cape May Airport. The site was formerly Naval Air Station Wildwood, which served as a World War II dive-bomber training center. The museum is dedicated to the 42 aviators who perished while training at Naval Air Station Wildwood between 1943 and 1945. The museum is open from 10am-4pm daily.
