New Year’s Eve will be less bright in Ocean City, after this year’s fireworks display was canceled because of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Nevertheless, residents and guests may continue to get their fill of holiday gleam and cheer at the 28th annual Winterfest of Lights at Northside Park on 125th Street.
This year’s holiday light display, which takes place Wednesday through Sunday, from 5:30-9:30 p.m., is a walking tour, rather than a tram excursion.
This decision was made back in September, as tram rides were deemed unsuitable during a pandemic.
At the time, some city officials shared concerns with a walking tour, specifically in regards to cold weather and dark pathways, but since opening night on Nov. 19, patrons have had nothing but glowing reviews for the event, according to special events staff.
“[The response has been] extremely positive,” Special Events Coordinator Brenda Moore said. “The public is actually vying for more walking tours in the future. We’ll see where that goes, but they’re very pleased.”
