Harlem Globetrotters Continue Summer Tradition In Wildwood
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- For the fifth consecutive year, the world famous Harlem Globetrotters will give families even more reasons to visit the Jersey Shore when they bring four games and four clinics to the Wildwood's Convention Center from Wednesday, July 29 through Saturday, Aug. 1 – with games nightly at 7 p.m.
"Wildwood has become a must-play tradition for us ever summer," said Harlem Globetrotters' star Big Easy Lofton. "From riding the Tram Car when we arrive to tossing out Frisbees on the beach, our annual trip to Wildwood is much more than four games. We truly feel like we are part of an amazing community."
The Globetrotters' one-of-a-kind show is unrivaled in the world of family entertainment. With incredible ball handling wizardry, rim-rattling dunks, trick shots, hilarious comedy and unequaled fan interaction, this must-see event is guaranteed to entertain the whole family. After the game, Globetrotter stars will sign autographs and take photos with fans.
The Globetrotters are also offering 2-hour Basketball Clinics on the Wildwoods Convention Center court on each game day (July 29, 30, 31, and August 1) from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. Globetrotter stars lead each clinic, which is designed for fans ages 6-12.
