Vehicles participating in the Endless Summer Cruisin’ Event will be permitted to park in the Inlet Parking Lot from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The promoter would like to remind participants that the Inlet Parking lot fills up quickly on Friday and Saturday, therefore being in the parade does not guarantee parking in the Inlet.

Plan for Congestion
Bring friends and try all the hand-mixed cocktails at the Wedge overlooking the inlet in Ocean City, MD.
The downtown area is expected to be congested over the next several weeks with lots of great events happening. Plan to leave early and stay a little later to avoid traffic congestion. Parking will be limited, especially during the Oceans Calling Festival. The Ocean City Beach Bus is a great alternative to trying to find parking in the busy downtown area.
You can also hang out at one of the many Ocean City restaurants or bars. Check out the many dining and drinking options here in Ocean City.About Ann
