Summer events returning to Ocean City

OCEAN CITY, Md. – Ocean City officials are bringing back summer events for residents and visitors.

Officials say the summer 2020 events kick off tonight, June 18th, with a fireworks show on the beach at 10:30 p.m. The new summer events will be held throughout Ocean City in the evening hours and will include Sundaes in the Park, drive-in movies, and beach dance parties, just to name a few.

New safety measures will be in effect to protect patrons, including new protocols for physical distancing to the request that visitors bring masks to use when entering public facilities, such as restrooms.

One example of a change to an event will be the hand-scooped ice cream and toppings tables at Sundaes in the Park, which will be replaced with pre-packaged ice cream sundaes in assorted flavors.

Ocean City Special Events Director Frank Miller says that while some events may be held in different ways, the heart of the events will not change.

“Ocean City events are nostalgic and they are part of the summer tradition for many of our guests, which we can assure you will not change,” Miller stated. “Making safe Ocean City memories is our top priority. We want families to come here, relax and know that we have taken every precaution to protect them from the coronavirus so they will feel safe enough to enjoy the amenities we offer.”
