Feis at the Beach Irish Dance Competition

Feis at the Beach returns to Wildwood on Saturday, April 25, bringing an all-day Irish dance competition back to the Wildwoods Convention Center. (wildwoodsnj.com) The event is scheduled for the Wildwoods Convention Center at 4501 Boardwalk in Wildwood, and local event listings describe it as an admission-fee competition with dancers competing across solo categories. (wildwood.com) Organizers identify the host as the Cummins School of Irish Dance, and the Wildwoods listing says competitors range from beginners to advanced championship dancers. (wildwoodsnj.com) A feis is a formal Irish dance competition, and the registration page for this event lists it as a one-day CLRG event in Wildwood on April 25. CLRG, or An Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha, is the main governing body for competitive Irish dance. (feisweb.com) The registration page also shows an overall cap of 800 entries and says late fees were in effect after the April 20, 2026 entry deadline. That points to a regional event built around advance sign-ups rather than walk-up participation. (feisweb.com) Regional dance calendars place Feis at the Beach on the Mid-Atlantic circuit, with the Wildwood date listed alongside other spring feiseanna in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York. The same calendar lists extra competitions including a charity treble reel and traditional set events. (kenderacademy.com) Event pages in Wildwood and Cape May County frame the competition as both a contest and a public cultural program, with performances and Irish dance on display inside one of the shore town’s main convention venues. (capemaycountyherald.com) For Wildwood in late April, the event lands in the shoulder season before the summer tourist rush, when convention-center weekends help draw visitors to the Boardwalk area. On Saturday, the draw is Irish dance. (wildwood.com)
