Thursday Night Fireworks: Downtown Ocean City, Md
Every Thursday night in July and August, downtown Ocean City lights up the sky over Caroline Street with its weekly fireworks show. Sea Rocket runs cruises from both the downtown dock and the midtown Aloft Hotel dock, so your group can pick the view and the setup that fits.
Sunday Night Fireworks: Northside Park
Every Sunday evening through the summer, fireworks launch from Northside Park over the bay as part of Ocean City’s Sundaes in the Park series. Sea Rocket’s private bay cruise puts your group up close from the water, departing midtown from the Aloft Hotel dock.
