Ocean City, Md. – Ocean City is gearing up for Independence Day celebrations featuring dual fireworks displays on July 4th, giving attendees two distinct venues to enjoy the holiday. The first event takes place at Northside Park near 125th Street along the bay. The evening will start at 8 p.m. with live music from Radio Ocean City, leading into the fireworks show at 9:30 p.m. Meanwhile, on the southern side of Ocean City, the Boardwalk will host festivities starting at 8 p.m.
The fireworks display here will also launch at 9:30 p.m. Holiday parking at the Inlet will be maintained, but rates will rise to $6 per hour for the day. Attendees should plan for limited parking availability near both locations and expect heavy traffic congestion once the shows conclude.

Additionally, the West Ocean City Park & Ride on Route 50 provides free parking alongside a $4 shuttle service to downtown, operating between Dorchester Street and St. Louis Avenue from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.
