Celebrate July Fourth in Ocean City, Free Fireworks and Concerts in Two Locations

On the south end of town, guests can head to Ocean City’s famous Boardwalk with its bright lights and assortment of food, family fun, for more fantastic fireworks. Mike Hines & The Look will start off the evening’s modern show with a performance on the Caroline Street Stage at 8 p.m. and fireworks lighting the sky beginning at 9:30 p.m. 

“The July 4^th Celebration in Ocean City is a unique opportunity to watch fireworks sparkle over the ocean,” Meehan said. “Our stage on Caroline Street allows visitors to bring beach chairs or blankets and claim a spot on the sand where they can enjoy the live performance and capture a special and patriotic fireworks display set to a modern mix of music.”

Parking operations for the Inlet Parking Lot will stay the same for the holiday, Wednesday, July 4.  Visitors are reminded that parking is extremely limited at both fireworks locations. It is recommended that visitors take the bus. Bus service is $3 ride all day. The West Ocean City Park & Ride on Route 50 is just west of the Route 50 Bridge and offers free parking and $3 ride-all-day shuttle service to downtown.  Also, area boaters should note that on the evening of July 4th, the span of the Route 50 Bridge will remain closed to marine traffic at the usually scheduled 10:25 p.m. and 10:55 p.m. opening times. The Route 50 Bridge will reopen for boaters at 11:25 p.m. on the evening of July 4th.
