General Assembly Considers New OC Liquor License

OCEAN CITY – With more and more privately promoted special events in town each year, a bill making its way through the General Assembly would create a different Ocean City promoter’s liquor license to sell beer, wine and other alcohol.

Special events are staples on the resort calendar, and many offer the sale of beer and wine, and in some cases, liquor. Heretofore, the town or not-for-profit organizations acquire the requisite liquor licenses for the special events from the Worcester County Board of License Commissioners (BLC).

For example, the town typically facilitates the acquisition of a license for its own events such as Springfest and Sunfest, for example, and local nonprofit groups handle the sales with all of the appropriate rules and regulations in place. In other cases, such as the Marlin Fest event associated with the White Marlin Open, the Ocean City Development Corporation (OCDC) acquires the license with approval from the BLC.

However, with the proliferation of larger privately promoted special events in the resort, for example the Oceans Calling music festival, or the OC Air Show, or the professional bull riding rodeo, a bill co-sponsored in the General Assembly by Senator Mary Beth Carozza and Delegate Wayne Hartman would create a specific Ocean City promoter’s liquor license for special events.

If approved, the bill would allow the county BLC to issue a temporary license to a for-profit promoter to sell beer, wine and liquor at specified special events. According to language in the bill, the event would have to be located within the corporate limits of Ocean City and on property owned by the town.
