Summer’s Last Hurrah: One More Week in Ocean City, NJ ☀️
Say it isn't so.
We've somehow reached the last big vacation week of summer in Ocean City, New Jersey.
If you're checking into your Ocean City beach house August 29 through Labor Day weekend, don't start thinking about fall just yet. There are still beach days to enjoy, Boardwalk nights to squeeze in, concerts to see, ice cream to eat and one final summer drone show lighting up the sky.
So unpack the flip-flops and put away the pumpkin spice for another week.
Ocean City still has some summer left.
🏖️ First Priority: One More Great Beach Week
Late August and early September can be a fantastic time to be on the beach in Ocean City, NJ.
The ocean has had all summer to warm up, the days are still long, and there's something particularly nice about realizing you don't have an endless number of summer beach days left.
Our advice?
Stay a little later.
Take one more swim.
And don't be the person who says, “We can go back to the beach tomorrow.”
Tomorrow eventually becomes September.
🎡 Give the Ocean City Boardwalk a Proper Summer Send-Off
You can't close out summer without at least one more night on the Ocean City Boardwalk.
That means one more round of rides.
One more completely unnecessary arcade competition.
One more order of Boardwalk fries.
One more box of fudge that you're supposedly bringing home for someone else.
And, obviously, one more ice cream.
Actually, make that two. Summer is ending.
🎶 Kick Off the Week With a Little Neil, Barry, Elvis & Bobby
Sunday night, August 30, brings Four Magnificent Male Icons to the Ocean City Music Pier.
The show celebrates the music of Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow, Elvis Presley and Bobby Darin, starting at 7:30 p.m.
That's a pretty fun soundtrack for the final week of summer.

✨ Catch the Final America 250 Drone Show
Monday, August 31 is a big night on the Boardwalk.
First, Family Nights runs from 7:00–9:00 p.m. between Sixth and 14th streets, with magicians, music, characters and other entertainment.
Then at 9:00 p.m., look up.
Ocean City's America 250: Lights Over Ocean City Drone Show returns over the beach and Boardwalk south of Sixth Street.
Hundreds of drones create patriotic animations in the sky as part of America's 250th anniversary celebration.
If you've been meaning to catch one of these shows all summer, this is your chance.

🍅 Spend Wednesday Morning at the Farmers Market
Need a little break from the beach?
The Ocean City Farmers Market returns Wednesday, September 2 from 8:00 a.m. until noon at the Ocean City Tabernacle grounds.
Pick up fresh produce, browse the craft vendors and then wander over to Asbury Avenue for a little downtown shopping.
It's a pretty nice way to spend a late-summer morning before heading back to the beach.
⚡ Calling All David Bowie Fans
Wednesday night brings something completely different to the Music Pier.
Starman: The Best of David Bowie takes the stage September 2 at 7:30 p.m., celebrating the music of one of rock's most iconic performers.
Tickets and details are available through Ocean City's official event calendar:

🍕 Eat the Things You Promised Yourself You'd Try This Summer
Was there a pizza place you never got around to trying?
An ice cream flavor someone told you was amazing?
A Boardwalk snack you've walked past ten times?
This is the week.
Labor Day weekend is no time for culinary regrets.
🎬 Finish the Weekend With the Music of John Williams
If you're staying through Sunday, September 6, there's a great way to cap off the week.
The Ocean City POPS will perform Dinosaurs, Aliens & Adventure: The Movie Music of John Williams at the Music Pier beginning at 7:30 p.m.
Think some of the most recognizable movie music ever written — performed live just off the Ocean City Boardwalk.
That's a pretty spectacular way to close out a summer vacation.
