2020 Harbor Day at the Docks going virtual

WEST OCEAN CITY, Md. – Worcester County Recreation and Parks has announced that this year’s Harbor Day at the Docks will be held virtually.

The event was originally scheduled for October 17th, but due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, officials feel it is best to cancel this year’s in-person event.

“This decision was not easy, but we look forward to celebrating maritime culture virtually until next year’s event,” said WCRP Program Manager Allen Swiger.

The free, family event attracts sponsorships and scores of residents and visitors from across the Delmarva region to the West Ocean City commercial harbor to celebrate the shore’s rich maritime heritage, as well as the sport fishing and commercial fishing industries.

Officials are inviting the public to follow the Harbor Day at the Docks – West Ocean City, MD Facebook page for fun videos highlighting local watermen, children’s crafts, and other activities to enjoy online.
