Endless Summer Cruisin Guide
The Biggest Annual Car Show in Ocean City
Endless Summer Cruisin’
October 5-8th 2023 Ocean City, Maryland is certainly known for its widely popular car and truck shows throughout the summer, but the Endless Summer Cruisin’ Car Show — the annual fall festival dedicated to all things cruisers, muscle cars, hot rods, and trick trucks — offers as much engine revving excitement as its spring counterpart. Endless Summer Cruisin’ takes place each October and typically draws over 2000 classic cars and thousands more spectators to Ocean City for a weekend of car shows, national vendors, live music, and celebrity meet and greets.
One of the most popular events for visitors of all ages to enjoy is free Boardwalk parade along the Boardwalk on Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning. Grab your coffee and head to the Boardwalk from 8am to enjoy this great display of vintage cars.
Check out the celebrity appearances all weekend long at the Convention Center and Inlet Parking lot, peruse vendors offering the latest automotive accessories, gear, and technologies, roll up and down Coastal Highway to show your off your ride, or sit and enjoy the Endless Summer action from your balcony or hotel parking lot!

What are 2024 dates?
I have been coming to both shows for 25 years sad to say but the show has turned into the muscle car show most if not all the saddel lit shows all go to nothing older then a 55 Mind you I love the muscle cars but for the old guys that like TRUE street rods and older cars it’s not much use going I like to see them give out awards in categories say like 49 and under then you have your muscle and so forth Now with that being said I’m still going I love ocean city the people and the town and the show thanks for this opportunity to voice my opinion and see you in the fall at endlessly summer
Are they still having the car show this year?
