We are very disappointed that you have made Sunfest so late we always attended it for over ten years while on our vacation which is now the first two weeks in October so we miss Sunfest again. the Entertainment was always great. The vendors & the food , just the whole Festival. We bought a lot of items through the years Why did you have to make it so late ??
Looking forward to this event this year. Have been to Spring Fest and loved it. September too much going on in my town so I was happy you moved it. I just hope it’s good weather not to cold. If so then try to move it closer to Oct 1st or very end of September like the 30th.
We love sunfest. We have been coming to ocmd sunfest for many years now. Each year we learn of something that has been added. I heard there was going to be fire works this year 2024 during sunfest, but would like to know where the fireworks will be set off, and the time they will start? Are you permitted to sit on the beach to watch the firework show? Can’t wait for this year to be apart of the entire experience
Where are the stages set up at?
Two outdoor stages will be set up in the Inlet Parking Lot.
Who will be playing this year?
I have been coming no to this for over 30 years.
Our large group is now down to 2 people. All because of date change.
Friends that camped, have their camper winterized by now.
Friends who have used their timeshares for this week have been shows.
I see no headliners again this year. With things closing again at 7.
I will be down for this year, but it looks like this will be my last also.
Some vendors we spoke to last year was also unhappy with the date change. They had other festivals that
they attended this week.
Plus some of the regular & popular bands will not be here this year.
Terrible decision to make it so late in October. For the vendors and visitors
Sad it has moved to so late in the year. Too cold for me. Can’t say I will be back unless it’s moved back to an earlier date.
You missed it a great day today! 73 degrees and nice and sunny at the opening
Please move Sunfest back to September, Thank-you
Great time of year for this event. Extends the summer season and all OC has to offer
Need to find the candle guy d. J flickers have the best candles anywhere I need Christmas gifts
I have recently retired and was looking forward to Sunfest last year and this year, but it’s so late in the season. Please move it back to September.
Because there are more things going on in sept and October maybe more restaurants and stores will stay open to capture that revenue! I’m sure that will cross somebody s mind!! Never miss spring or sun vests! Now we live down here don’t need a hotel!!
i guess if there if there is no sun then there is no sunfest.
Its not raining now and if it did rain its doesn’t look like much?
Agree with Maryann. Been going from the beginning. Hoping will go to traditional date
A shame this has moved this far into fall when many locations on boardwalk are now closed for the season. Many restaurants also now closed this late in the year. Not very good planning for the thousands that come to this event and now the business that will lose income for that weekend as well. September was the perfect time, not sure why there is always a need to mess up what was a great thing. Trying it this weekend to see what is still open that we usually like to go to but may be last we attend due to how late in season it is.
I’m hoping this isn’t going to be a permanent date for Sunfest to me it’s just way to late in the season…I’ve been to Sunfest a number of years but won’t be going any longer if this is when it will be held.
When we come to the Sunfest we would stay at the Holiday Inn Suites. The rooms are large clean and the service is good. Walk out the door down the steps to the boardwalk. We would get a Book of passes (better deal) for the tram.
I’m not familiar with the area. We would like to stay in a nearby hotel. I’d greatly appreciate any suggestions.
We’ve stayed at the Dunes, Hilton and Double Tree. All have been very nice. The Dunes is right next to the Boardwalk, the other 2 are several streets away but about a 10 minute walk. It’s been several years but we have stayed at the Commander as well. It’s right on the Boardwalk.
I am looking to rent a vacation home on the Ocean side of Ocean City, MD. Would even consider as far out at Fenwick, DE on ocean side. It needs to hold at least 8 (to of which are young children – well behaved) 1 pet is a plus. A big plus would be if there are two more rentals in the same area that can hold the same number of persons Our family would like to go together with vacation homes nearby.
Would love to go to this event
