The fall brings to mind craft beer festivals and beercations in Ocean City. Shore Craft Beer is hosting their eleventh annual OCtoberfest Shore Craft Beer Fest at the Bayside Park at 3rd Street in Downtown Ocean City on November 1st 2025.

Ocean City is within an hour or so of over 20 breweries and there are many more on the Eastern Shore. That’s why we are celebrating the world class beer in Maryland, on the Shore and in our region with a dedicated weekend.
