Ocean City planning for Oceans Calling Festival

OCEAN CITY, Md.- The Town of Ocean City is preparing to have around 40,000 people at a first of it’s kind festival.

Oceans Calling Festival will be held from September 30 through October 2 bringing in music artists from all over. The town said residents and visitors should expect alternate traffic patterns, heavy pedestrian traffic, and car traffic delays. Because of this, they’re asking people to consider how they get around town as they are trying to make the experience as convenient as possible.

“There’s going to be limited parking downtown, very limited, we’re encouraging people to use the park and ride in Ocean City, there will be a continuous shuttle going back and forth, from there it’s also a short walk if you choose to walk,” Mayor Rick Meehan said.

Mayor Meehan also said there will be buses that you can use with drop off points at the convention center and the 100th street lot.
