The holiday season is right around the corner, and Ocean City is ready to celebrate in style! The Ocean City Christmas Parade is going in-house this year to proudly carry on the 42-year tradition started by Gold Coast Mall.

Mark your calendars for December 6th — bring your chairs and blankets, and plan for a festive day in OC! Arrive early to find parking and grab a good viewing spot. The parade steps off promptly at 11:00 a.m., following an extended route from Old Landing Road north to 120th Street. The southbound lanes of Coastal Highway will be closed in this area, giving spectators plenty of room to enjoy the show curbside.

After the parade, head to the Carousel for family-friendly fun and the awards presentation. And don’t forget — the beach and Boardwalk are perfect for a relaxing stroll to top off a wonderful December day in Ocean City!
