Winterfest of Lights in Ocean City

Celebrate the season at Northside Park and all over Ocean City.

The famous Winterfest of Lights is the centerpiece of Holiday Decorations at the beach. While the town may boast of 1,000,000 (or more) lights, the main attraction is definitely NorthSide Park. The park is transformed into a holiday wonderland fantasy of lights, sound and motion. The sound is the music playing favorite Christmas Carols – such as the Twelve Days of Christmas as the (boardwalk) tram carries you and your family along the park’s path decorated with large light displays depicting each of those 12 days. That is just one portion of the mile-long display featuring (literally) hundreds of lighted displays, many with animation. This is a real treat for young and old alike.

Boardwalk Hotels are having a great year. This update is as of September 39, 2014 – the last day of the third quarter of the year. With a new hotel booking last evening we have now eclipsed the total number of bookings for 2003. This is a great position to be in to begin the fourth quarter of the year. The town of ocean City is to be commended for all it does to attract and maintain visitors throughout the year – and not just the summer (touristy) months.
