Ocean City’s Hot Air Balloon Festival, which was scheduled to take place August 25-27, has not been cancelled. But it has been relocated.
The event will now take place back to its roots at Triple Creek Winery in Cordova, Maryland. “The event has been held here for the last 7 years,” states owner Alex Spies. “We tried to help accommodate all of the balloons that had already made plans to come to the eastern shore already.” It also gave companies a chance to still come and show off their incredible hot air balloons. Balloons will be traveling from all over the country including New York, Ohio, Florida, and North Carolina just to name a few. Cordova is located in Easton, Maryland, about an hour and a half away from Ocean City, MD.
Traffic and safety concerns brought up by the Maryland State Police and county officials were one of the many reasons that the county has decided to relocate the much-anticipated event. In addition to the traffic, Worcester County wanted a year to plan the extravagant event, which was going to be held in fields and area behind the Ocean City Outlets.
The 1st 4 words of tbis headline says it all. Ocean City’s hot air……bwahahahaha.
1st of all, is it ever logically possible to have hot air balloons anywhere near the shore? Its impossible to predict the weather around here let alone the winds. The last 10 days weve had pretty good weather, but the winds (especially offshore for the fishing tourneys) have been strong. Coming from the north and especially from the south. One of the main reasons the national hot air balloon show is in Albuquerque NM each year. Minimal to no wind.
2nd OCs hot air…..we already are familiar with all the hot air that comes from City Hall and their spokesman Rickie! Bwahahahahahahahah
Happy week to all! Tourons gone!
No doubt because of BIDEN always coming to Delaware Every Week !!!! Pedo on the Beach !!!!
“Cordova is located in Easton, Maryland”. This is an incorrect statement. It is located in Talbot County, but Cordova is its own village, northeast of Easton. They’re about five minutes apart between the two community’s outermost boundaries. Media can’t even get this right? Well, I guess “OceanCity.com” isn’t really “media”, huh? Even IF it’s under the “NEWS” banner.
