“This has been a great opportunity to preserve our island’s music history in a fun and interactive
way. We’ve had many first here, just last year Tony Orlando stated he remembered getting started at the Rainbow at fifteen years old. It’s incredible to be able to preserve this for future generations. Playing to our past and showing how Wildwood continues to be a music powered city.” Mayor Ernie Troiano, Jr.
