The Southern NJ Coast Guard Ball, anchored at the Wildwoods Convention Center on April 18, 2026, is presented each year by the Cape May County Coast Guard Community Foundation. This gathering is a unique celebration that combines ceremonial traditions with the exuberant spirit of a community that honors the service of our service members. The Southern NJ Coast Guard Ball is a Formal / Black Tie Optional event that provides the opportunity for the public to experience a formal Coast Guard Ball while also connecting the Community with Coast Guard members from around the region. The celebration transitions from sophisticated and formal to all-out-dancing-fun over the course of the evening.

The evening begins with cocktails, followed by a program including military formalities such as a Remembrance Table Ceremony, remarks from the USCG Training Center Cape May, Keynote Speakers and formal toasting for all of our military branches.  We have also been honored to have the United States Coast Guard Ceremonial Honor Guard provide an exceptional performance at past events. The night concludes with dancing and music provided from a local DJ and more…

The Southern NJ Coast Guard Ball is an opportunity to experience military traditions and hit the dance floor all in one evening.  It’s another event that shows why Cape May County is a PROUD Coast Guard Community.

Join us as sponsor of this unique annual event where you will experience an evening of mingling, toasting and dancing amongst our Active-Duty Coast Guard members, community leaders and friends for a night of celebration honoring the service of our military and our “Designated Coast Guard Community.”
