If you’re reading this and you’re in Ocean City this week, you’re in for a fantastically fun Fourth of July weekend (so long as the clouds and rain hold off until Friday – knock on wood). The Town of Ocean City will continue its Independence Day traditions with two sets of fireworks, one downtown on the beach and one uptown in Northside Park, with live entertainment at both locations. Seacrets will continue its own holiday tradition midtown, rounding out the night with a third set of fireworks in Ocean City.
No matter where you are this holiday weekend, we hope you have a wonderful time celebrating with family and friends. If you are in Ocean City, submit your Fourth of July photos for our next Photo Friday and you could win a pair of passes to Jolly Roger Amusements. Happy holidays!
