The Wildwood Board of Commissioners approved a $4,200 contract with the band Blue Magic to stage a Sunday night concert at Fox Park on July 5, 2026. The agreement was adopted during a regular meeting of the board and sets the terms for a live music event scheduled for the evening after the town’s Independence Day celebrations.
Under the contract, Blue Magic will perform a set of songs for residents and visitors gathered in the park. The $4,200 payment covers the band’s performance fee, basic equipment, and associated logistical costs as outlined by the municipality. The board’s decision aligns with its ongoing effort to provide community entertainment and to make use of public spaces for cultural activities.
The concert is slated for the Sunday following July 4, offering a musical conclusion to the holiday weekend. Officials indicated that the event is intended to give residents a convenient, free‑time option for leisure without requiring additional funding beyond the approved amount. Fox Park, a municipal venue frequently used for public gatherings, will host the performance, reinforcing its role as a central location for town events. Security and cleanup crews will be on site to manage the venue before and after the performance.
The board’s approval follows a series of recent municipal initiatives that schedule entertainment programs during summer months. By selecting a well‑known R&B group, the town aims to attract a broad audience while keeping expenses within the modest budget approved by the commissioners. The event will be promoted through town communications and posted signage around Fox Park, ensuring that residents are aware of the free concert offering.
