OCEAN CITY, MD
Summer break may end, but Ocean City is still a place to smile about. The Inlet Parking Lot will be closed for public parking from September 10, 2024, until October 13, 2024, to accommodate several upcoming events.
The Inlet Lot will be hosting several significant events during September and October. The first event will be OC BikeFest. While OC BikeFest is scheduled from September 11 through September 15, the promoters will start setting up the concert and vendor area on September 10. OC BikeFest will have limited motorcycle-only parking in the Inlet Lot during the event. Parking spaces will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. To learn more about this event, please visit their website at https://ocbikefest.com/.
As OC BikeFest begins to break down its event, the Inlet Lot will transition into setting up for the Oceans Calling Festival. The Oceans Calling Festival will take place from September 27 through September 29. If you would like to learn more about this event, please visit their website at https://www.oceanscallingfestival.com/
Immediately following the Oceans Calling Festival, we transition to the Country Calling Festival for all country music lovers. Country Calling Festival will take place from October 4 and 5. If you would like to learn more about this event, please visit their website at https://www.countrycallingfestival.com/
After the Country Calling Festival, the Inlet Parking Lot will transition to the Endless Summer Cruisin’ Event. The Endless Summer Cruisin’ Event will occur on October 10 through Sunday, October 13. Vehicles participating in the Endless Summer Cruisin’ Event will be permitted to park in the Inlet Parking Lot from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The promoter would like to remind participants that the Inlet Parking lot fills up quickly on Friday and Saturday; therefore, being in the parade does not guarantee parking in the Inlet. During this event, the Inlet Lot Parking will be available to the public after 5 p.m. each day. The Inlet Lot will resume normal operations after 4:30 p.m. on Sunday.

Rest assured, several convenient alternatives exist for municipal and street parking during the Inlet Lot closure. If you plan to attend one of these events or stroll on the Boardwalk, visit our website to learn about our parking options: https://oceancitymd.gov/oc/ocean-city-parking/.
The Ocean City Inlet Lot will be closed to public parking from September 10 until October 13. The lot will reopen after 4:30 p.m. on October 13.
The downtown area is expected to be congested over the next several weeks, with many significant events happening. Plan to leave early and stay a little later to avoid traffic congestion. Parking will be limited, especially during the Oceans Calling Festival. The Ocean City Beach Bus is an excellent alternative to trying to find parking in the busy downtown area.
