Wildwood, NJ · Every April
Feis at the Beach Irish Dance Competition
Each spring Feis at the Beach, an Irish dance competition organized by the Cummins School of Irish Dance, comes to the Wildwoods Convention Center on the Boardwalk. The 2026 competition was Saturday, April 25; the 2027 date has not been announced.
What Makes Feis at the Beach Special
Feis at the Beach is an Irish dance competition held at the Wildwoods Convention Center that attracts dancers of all ages and skill levels.
Dancers compete in solo categories, from beginners to advanced championships.
Feis at the Beach is held near Wildwood’s beach and Boardwalk, making it a family-friendly weekend event.
Check facebook.com/FeisAtTheBeach for the 2027 date before you book. Feis at the Beach falls in April, around when our other four hotels reopen; Coastal Sands Inn (4110 Atlantic Ave) is open all winter, so it is the safe pick for an April competition weekend.
