Ocean City, Maryland โ€“ (September 29, 2022): The highly anticipated three-day music festival, Oceans Calling, has been canceled due to the updated weather forecast of Hurricane Ian. The festival, which would be a first for the resort town, was forced to cancel due to the unsafe weather conditions, including high winds, tidal flooding, and heavy rain.

โ€œWe are extremely disappointed to cancel Oceans Calling Festival,โ€ commented Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan. โ€œWe have been working closely with the event promotors since May 2021. Their hard work, and the hard work of our staff, were evident in every detail of the event planning and preparation. Although this is disappointing to all of us, we are already working with C3 Presents to bring Oceans Calling Festival back to Marylandโ€™s Coast next year.โ€
