OCEAN CITY, MARYLAND – Ocean City’s 28th annual Winterfest of Lights will kick off Thursday, November 19, 2020, with a twist. The opening ceremony and tree lighting will be virtual, airing live on Facebook. Following the virtual tree lighting, Winterfest will open to the public.
Winterfest guests can experience the magic of the holiday season close up. The walking path is approximately a half-mile and contains several surprises along the way, creating family-friendly opportunities that will last a lifetime. The spectacular light displays consist of countless loyal favorites, including Santa’s Workshop and the Reindeer Flight School. Also, participants can’t miss the animated, 50-foot Winterfest Christmas tree “performing” its show throughout the evening.
With proper distancing practices in place, families will still have an opportunity for photos with Santa Claus and his sleigh in the Winterfest gift shop. Visitors are encouraged to dress appropriately for the winter weather. Masks should be worn at the event if you cannot social distance and health checks are required to enter the Northside Park facility gift shop and Santa photos area.
The hours of operation will be Wednesday-Sunday from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Winterfest tickets can be purchased on-site or online. Admission is $5 for those 12 years & older and FREE for those 11 years and younger.
