Rising Tides Weekend Itinerary

Over the course of the weekend, there is so much fun to be had!

The festival will take place on Saturday from 2-10pm. Outside of that, the fun kicks off on Friday with a number of fun opportunities around town. Here's what we recommend for your weekend plans!

Friday

When you arrive into town on Friday, kick things off with a delicious meal at one of our many recommended restaurants around town.

Then, you've got options for post-dinner fun! Different spots throughout town are hosting Rising Tides-inspired events, like 90s trivia and karaoke!

Hilton Garden Inn: 90's Trivia (time TBD)
Residence Inn: 90's Karaoke 6-9pm
Ocean 13: Happy Hour 3-6pm | Karaoke (time TBD)

Pro Tip: It's the first Friday of Winterfest! Head to Northside Park from 5:30-9:30pm for some holiday magic, hot cocoa, and family-friendly fun.

Saturday

It's festival Saturday! Fuel up first thing with a delicious breakfast from Barn 34 or Bayside Skillet.

Head out for a fun activity to enjoy your time before the festival doors open! Here are some great indoor options:

Learn something new at the Life-Saving Station Museum or the Museum of Ocean City
Play fun, classic games at Sportland Arcade, Fun City, or Alley Oops
Solve puzzles to escape at Trapped Escape Rooms
Challenge someone to mini golf at Old Pro Golf

Check out the Trails on the Discover OCMD app and try some new restaurants around town! From The Locals' List or the Seafood Trail to the First Timer's Tour or the Orange Crush Trail, there's something for every interest!

Finally, from 2-10pm, sing, dance, and have a wonderful time at the first ever Rising Tides Festival!

Sunday

After Saturday's fun, start your Sunday with a relaxing stroll on the beach. Even better if you're able to make the sunrise!

Then, grab breakfast somewhere in town. Try out a new spot—it just may become your next favorite!

Before you head home, take advantage of the off-season Sunday morning in Ocean City and do some holiday shopping at one of the many small businesses throughout town.
