Ladies and Gentlemen,
We are exactly a week away from Castle Dracula Weekend!
I honestly and whole-heartedly hope many of you can make it. This is going to set an amazing precedent in Wildwood for the awareness of not only Castle Dracula but the long celebrated history of dark rides to the island.
Friday will be our nice a quiet day… we are aware that this tough since it is a week night which is why we made it a “light” day in terms of events. Nice and calm. Fans and Former Cast are coming from far and wide… so we want to make sure that our BIG announcement is Saturday in front of as many people as possible. This announcement is a very long time coming and I am personally very very grateful for everyone involved in it. I will explain more next Saturday.
That being said, we will have a LIVE feed on THIS page! :)
More updates to come!

FOR VENDORS:
Loading on Friday will be at 12pm for set up. Please see an “EVENT STAFF” member for any help you may need. The venue will be locked up over night so you will NOT need to breakdown over night, however I would recommend covering your wares in the event of unexpected weather (thank the Cape May Bubble)
LIGHTS:
DECORATE YOUR BOOTH!!!! We are having a NIGHT event, let’s get the real feel down with the atmosphere. Who knows, maybe we have a contest in store! ():D
