Planning tips

  • Arrive mid-morning on Saturdays before the densest craft-aisle crush.
  • Screenshot the festival map from official posts—cell service lags when crowds peak.
  • Buy PAC showcase tickets early if those evenings are your main reason for the trip.
  • Book restaurants for late lunch / early dinner or lean on takeout.
  • Wear walking shoes—Inlet Lot + Boardwalk loops add up fast with kids.
  • If day-tripping, West Ocean City Park & Ride + shuttle/bus beats circling the Inlet.
