Worcester County officials gave the go-ahead for alcoholic beverages to be served at the springtime music festival Boardwalk Rock in Ocean City.
The county’s Board of License Commissioners on Wednesday approve the promoter’s application to serve beer, wine, and liquor at Boardwalk Rock on May 17-18. It’s being produced by C3 Presents, the same Texas-based company producing the resort’s other two music festivals, Oceans Calling and Country Calling.
Mark Cropper, the attorney representing the applicant, at the hearing offered his own personal testimony of the resort’s new musical festivals.
“I also have attended various days of these events in the past, both the Oceans Calling and Country Calling, and have found the event to be remarkably well-operated, managed, and maintained,” Cropper told the board. “The security is impeccable. From my own personal experience, there is nothing that could be deemed detrimental to the heath and safety” of visitors.
Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan was one of the applicants for this license, as was David Smalley, the CEO of co-applicant Spectrum Concessions. Smalley did not appear at the hearing with Meehan, but the mayor was joined by City Manager Terry McGean and Tom Perlozzo, the town’s director of tourism and business development.
