Downtown Ocean City has everything Discover fun, food, shopping, events and entertainment in downtown OC July is finally here. For many visitors to our resort town, when they think of Ocean City, they think of the Fourth of July. This month we have many events that should have tourists and local alike flocking to Downtown OC. It wouldn’t be July in Ocean City without Fireworks. In Downtown OC, we have a massive fireworks display on the Boardwalk for our 4th of July celebration. Come down to Caroline Street and Boardwalk before the fireworks and check out Downrange, the U.S. Army Band.
Don’t worry if you don’t make it down for the holiday fireworks, we have smaller displays scheduled for the rest of the month as well. Check out the events calendar in this edition of the Discover Downtown for dates and times. Ocean City does enjoy its classic cars, and on July 9 and July 23 the OC Cruzers will continue their car displays on Somerset Plaza. On display will be a rotating selection of customs, hot rods, muscle cars, and classic autos as well as live music. This is a free event open to the public, and a great excuse to walk the boards after seeing the classic cars. We are in peak season, and ready to cut loose
with some live music in Downtown OC. Our annual Sunset Park Party Nights concert series kicks off this month with performances on Thursday nights. This July’s concerts at the stunning Sunset Park include rock and country acts, featuring Juke Box Hero, Jimmy Charles, Saved by Zero, Lennex, and Rogue Citizens. There is also Beach Dance Party on Monday nights at the Caroline Street Stage on the Boardwalk with live DJs. Details are in our events calendar. Ocean City is the perfect place for family fun — offering great hotels, restaurants, rides, arcades, festivals and sporting events. All that is in addition Continued on page 8
