Boardwalk Performers & Rules · Ocean City, Maryland

Are street performers allowed on the Ocean City Boardwalk?

Answer

Ocean City allows regulated street performance in designated Boardwalk contexts, but entertainers must follow Town ordinances on permits, amplification, and obstruction—not every act can set up wherever crowds gather. Visitors enjoy musicians, magicians, and novelty acts most summer evenings near amusement zones. Performers who block egress or ignore sound limits risk removal by police or code staff.
