Historic Cold Spring Village is proud to announce the resounding success of its 24th annual Feasting on History gala, held at the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum.
This year’s event welcomed more than 800 guests and featured culinary delights from over 50 local restaurants, breweries, wineries, and distilleries—making it the largest and most delicious Feasting on History to date.
Guests gathered under the wings of historic aircraft to enjoy signature dishes, craft beverages, and sweet treats—all while supporting Historic Cold Spring Village’s mission of historic preservation, heritage education, and cultural enrichment.
“We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible outpouring of support from our culinary community and guests,” said Annie Salvatore, founder of Historic Cold Spring Village. “Each plate served helps us preserve Cape May County’s rich history and ensures that future generations can continue to explore and learn from our unique past.”
This year’s event was generously sponsored by Sturdy Savings Bank, Delaware River and Bay Authority, Cape Publishing, Cape May County Herald, Fitzpatrick, Bongiovanni & Kelly, P.C., Seashore Food Distributors, and DeWeese Law Firm.
As we close the chapter on this record-breaking year, we are thrilled to announce that Feasting on History 2026 will mark the event’s 25th anniversary. Plans are already underway for a spectacular celebration that honors the tradition of this beloved Cape May County event and looks forward to the next quarter-century of culinary community and cultural preservation.
Save the date and stay tuned for more details coming soon.
