It’s not too early to begin to plan for 4th of July. Check this out from the Town of Ocean City!
Northside Park and North Division Street locations both feature free concerts and fireworks displays
Ocean City, MD — The Fourth of July will be filled with family fun in Ocean City with two great places to celebrate the holiday, both presenting free concerts and fireworks.
Festivities begin at 8 p.m. with a free concert at Northside Park located at 127th Street and the bay. Rick K and the Allnighters will provide the entertainment. The spectacular fireworks display will be shot from the west side of the park at 9:30 p.m. You’ll hear the oohs and aahs throughout the park as the colorful displays light up the evening sky. Get there early to claim the best location to view the fireworks.
Meanwhile, on the south end of town, you can head to Ocean City’s famous Boardwalk with its bright lights, wonderful food, family fun and more fantastic fireworks. Bring your beach chair or blanket and claim a spot on the beach at North Division Street for a free concert at 8 p.m. with Dr. K’s Motown Review. Fireworks will also fill the sky over the ocean beginning at 9:30 p.m.
Parking is extremely limited at both locations. It is recommended that you take the bus. Bus service is $2 a day and runs 24 hours a day. Coming from west of town, the West Ocean City Park & Ride on Route 50 just west of the Route 50 Bridge offers free parking and $1 shuttle service to downtown.
