OCEAN CITY – Among the biggest takeaways from Monday’s presentation of planned special events this summer was a change in the number and size of the beach fireworks displays and the addition of some drive-in concerts and movies at the Inlet lot.
During Monday’s Tourism Commission meeting, TEAM Productions’ Bob Rothermel introduced a working plan for special events throughout the resort this summer with the emphasis on the planning document as a draft. As usual, the plan includes weekly fireworks shows at Northside Park in conjunction with the Sundaes in the Park event.
The tentative plan also included a total of 11 fireworks shows on the beach downtown on Thursdays from mid-June to late-August along with another on Labor Day Monday. However, after some debate from commission members, the beach fireworks could see the number of shows reduced in favor of targeted longer and bigger displays.
TEAM Productions’ tentative plan also includes some new wrinkles, such as a series of drive-in concerts at the Inlet Lot and drive-in movies at the Inlet Lot through much of the summer. The plan also includes the return of the popular OCToberfest events coordinated around Halloween.
It’s time to bring back drive-in movies.
Into your jammies, kids, and pile into
the station wagon with a paper shopping bag
full of the popcorn that Mom just popped.
Trump Rallys with plenty of Boat Flags baby !!!!
How about a “Free the Nipple” festival like in New York’s Central Park had?
Drive-In? Where will the sound come from? Maybe they will give out little speakers to hang on your door. They talk of this while talking about bringing the boardwalk Tram back online and I suppose the Drunk Bus. How can people sit in cars and even see the fireworks unless they happen to have a convertible? It would be better to televise their events and sent visitors to the bars to watch on TV.
anything to keep the dregs of society coming there so they can fleece them of their worthless us dollars!
What happened to the old day? People coming to the beach, staying a hotels, going to the boards. Simple and it worked. Start forcing it came about to all the building AND HUGE HOTEL PRICES.
Keep forcing it Rickie, keep that beer-in-hand.
Mayor Failure!
