Wildwood, NJ · Spring
MudHen HenStock Music Festival
MudHen Brewing Company’s HenStock was an all-day party at the brewery, 127 W. Rio Grande Ave, on Sunday, April 12, 2026, marking MudHen’s 8th anniversary with live music, local vendors and family fun. 2027 dates have not been announced yet.
What Makes HenStock Special
In 2026 HenStock was MudHen Brewing Company’s 8th anniversary celebration, with live music, MudHen beer and family activities at the Wildwood brewery.
The 2026 lineup included dueling pianos (9 a.m.-1 p.m.), the band Fat Mezz (3-7 p.m.), face painting and caricatures (10 a.m.-2 p.m.), kids games “for all ages” and local vendors.
Check mudhenbrew.com for the 2027 date before you book. HenStock 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 weekend.
