A festival of sun and fun
Celebrating the end of summer in Ocean City, Maryland
BY JULIE SUMMERS WALKER
FOR MORE THAN 45 YEARS, beachgoers in Ocean City, Maryland, have celebrated
the end of the summer season with Sunfest, a four-day festival featuring arts
and crafts, music, beach activities, and food on the inlet parking lot at the start of
the resort town's three-mile-long boardwalk. Famous for its amusement rides,
food vendors, and bars and shops, the Ocean City boardwalk is synonymous
with family fun. Ocean City's Sunfest is one of the largest outdoor festivals in
the region, attracting tens of thousands of attendees each year.
Sunfest takes place October 19 through 22, 2023. Local and national artisans
from all over the country sell handmade items at the annual event. Sunfest offers
visitors a chance to browse a variety of goods and enjoy food, music, and other
alfresco activities along the Atlantic oceanfront at the south end of Ocean City's
famous boardwalk.
Music is a hallmark of the festival, and this year there are two stages-one
on the beach and one in the midway of the event lot. Tribute bands for Neil
Diamond, The Beach Boys, Elvis, and Earth Wind & Fire are highlights and
there will be appearances by Starship, Lauren Glick, The Reagan Years, and
Nashville's Lombardy.
More than 30 vendors will sell food options that range from the boardwalk's
famous fries (Thrashers) to its ice cream (Dumser's) and other food trucks
brought in to feed the crowds. There are more than 200 arts and crafts vendors
as well as beach activities ranging from beach tennis to cornhole competitions,
hayrides on the beach, pumpkin races, pet competitions, a drone display, bonfire,
and fireworks.
Ocean City Municipal Airport (OXB) is three miles southwest of the town
on Rt. 611. Cross the Rt. 50 bridge and you are in the heart of Sunfest. Two
runways-3,201 feet long and 4,072 feet long-serve the flying public. Fuel is
available. Transportation into town is also available. Thirty-minute biplane
rides are available for $250, on a biplane called Cloud Dancer. This is a popular
attraction, as the biplane is often seen over the skies of Ocean City (see " Summer
Camp for Pilots, " July 2023 AOPA Pilot). julie.walker@aopa.org
