Today’s boardwalk forecast: beach balls, tinsel, and a golf-cart Santa
Wildwood, New Jersey, is putting a very specific spin on Christmas in July today: a golf-cart parade on the boardwalk. The Wildwoods’ official event listing says its fifth annual celebration is set for Saturday, July 25, with check-in and judging at the Convention Center semi-circle before a 10 a.m. parade start.
The premise is delightfully straightforward. Residents and visitors are invited to decorate carts for the occasion, and judges will award trophies for creativity, holiday spirit, and overall presentation. The published examples include beach balls in Santa hats, tropical elves, lights, and inflatable holiday decorations—the kind of combination that only makes complete sense in a shore town in July.
If you are heading over, use the official Wildwoods event listing for the schedule and the City of Wildwood recreation registration link. This is a planned community event, so details can change; the organizer’s page is the best final check.

Marshalltown gets deliberately ridiculous
In Iowa, the Marshalltown Area Chamber of Commerce has scheduled Ridiculous Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. CDT on Main Street. The chamber describes it as a summer block party with playful deals, children’s activities, music, food trucks, vendors, and a First Responders Block. It is a strong argument for treating “ridiculous” as a civic virtue.
