If you’ve had enough of winter, it’s not too early to start thinking warm thoughts. Ocean City is planning another great lineup of spring events.
Market Madness on March 14 and 15 will bring together all of Ocean City’s favorite stores under one roof at the Ocean City Civic Center for two days of pre-season shopping specials.
The Ocean City Regional Chamber of Commerce will hold its annual Job Fair 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. March 21 at the Ocean City Music Pier.
The spring season starts with annual Easter events. The Great Egg Hunts on March 28 and April 4 will invite children to stop by participating boardwalk stores in their search for eggs and treats. The Easter Dueling Pianos Show will be on Sunday, April 5, outside the Music Pier.
The spring calendar continues with Girls Weekend from April 10 to April 12, and the OC Con Comic Book and Memorabilia Show on April 11 and April 12 (artist registration is open at ocnjcon.com). The madcap Doo Dah Parade falls on April 18 this year and will feature the usual brigade of basset hounds
The Sports Memorabilia Show returns to a two-day event on April 25 and April 26 at the Music Pier. Stay posted for announcements about this year’s special guests. Vendor registration is open at ocnj.us/SportsMemorabiliaShow.
Martin Z. Mollusk seeks his shadow on May 1, and we’re betting that he’ll bring us another early summer. The Spring Block Party returns on May 2.
May 9 brings the Spring Cruisin’ the Boards Car Show on the Boardwalk and the Ocean City Schools Art Showcase at the Music Pier.
The Ocean City Skate Park hosts the all-girls Chica De Mayo skateboard party on May 17.
That all leads to the moment we wait for each year: the Unlocking of the Ocean and Business Persons Plunge. This traditional start to the summer season falls on Friday, May 22 this year.
