This week in Ocean City pictures

A week of select pictures in Ocean City, Maryland

Letโ€™s look at ten of the pictures taken in Ocean City, Maryland over the past week between August 24th and August 30th.  This past week saw two major events (OC Air Show and https://oceancityjeepfest.com) which provided many picture opportunities.  But for the sake of brevity, we are including only a few pictures in this summary.  So, hereโ€™s some of our favorite pictures for our OC Week in Review.

 

OC Air Show 2024
Ocean City Air Show

What a great air showing held this past week that featured, for the first time to Ocean City, the Italian Frecce Tricolori fighters! This yearโ€™s Air Show occurred on August 24th and 25th.  There was the F-22 Raptor Demo Team, Growlers, C-17 Globemaster III, A=10 Thunderbolt and more.  This was the first time the Ocean City Air Show was held in August.  This Air Show will return to its regular June time slot in 2025 and will feature the Blue Angels!

OC Jeep Fest
Ocean City Jeep Fest

Partially overlapping with the OC Air Show this year was the 2024 Ocean City Jeep Fest.  This event continues to grow and is one of the biggest Jeep events in the Mid-Atlantic region.  It is centered with activities, vendors and live entertainment, at the Ocean City Convention Center at 40th Street.  During the morning hours of this four-day event, OC Jeep Fest also sponsored its popular Jeep Crawl which allows participants to drive their jeeps from the Ocean City inlet parking lot north to 30th Street.  The event also provided a beach driving obstacle course for its participants.
