October brings to mind craft beer festivals and beercations in Ocean City. Shore Craft Beer is hosting their tenth annual Octoberfest Shore Craft Beer Fest in Downtown Ocean City on September 21st 2024.
Ocean City is within an hour or so of over 20 breweries and there are many more on the Eastern Shore. That’s why we are celebrating the world class beer in Maryland, on the Shore and in our region with a dedicated weekend.
The OCtoberfest Shore Craft Beer Fest
The festival itself is September 21 from 1 – 5. Join us as a VIP and you will get a commemorative t-shirt, pint glass, and an extra hour of beer-drinking with the brewery representatives. VIPs come at 1 and can enjoy 4 hours of unlimited samples of 30+ local and regional craft beers, Hoop Tea, seltzers, ciders and mead.. General Admission ticket holders will enter the festival at 2 and everybody will enjoy the live music, vendors, and the water views until 5. More information will be available on the Shore Craft Beer Fest site as details come in.
Beercations
If you want to make a weekend of it, several hotels have built packages around the festival. You will get discounted tickets and rooms to let you make the most of your festival getaway in Ocean City. These hotel packages will be up on the Shore Craft Beer Fest as soon as we have more details from the hotels.
Take A Break on a Quick Cruise During the Festival
