OC Jeep Week Drive & Disguise

Drive in Disguise

Saturday | 3pm

The Drive in Disguise Jeep parade will travel southbound along the coast from 30th Street to Caroline Street, beginning at 3pm. 

Once all of the Jeeps make their way to the end of the parade, they will set up between Caroline Street and the Pier for the Trunk or Treat! The Trunk or Treat will kick off once all of the Jeeps are set up and ready to go. This is typically around 3:30-3:45pm. It will last as long as the participants have treats to give, and it goes quickly!

During the Trunk or Treat, enjoy music from DJ Rupe!

Sunfest Bonfire

Beach Bonfire

The Saturday night bonfire is the perfect way to cap off your Sunfest weekend! Gather around the crackling flames as you listen to live music and soak up the cozy autumn air right on the beach. A must-do for all ages!

Delmarva Dock Dogs

Delmarva Dock Dogs

Thursday-Sunday | Please see below for daily schedule.

Extreme speed and big air come to Sunfest for days of jumping, retrieving and sopping wet Olympian dogs! Delmarva Dock Dogs is an active local chapter of Dock Dogs Worldwide, the sanctioning body for international dock jumping, dock diving and dog performance sports.

Each dog/handler competition team competes head-to-head to see who can jump the furthest (not the handler, the dog), swim the fastest and leap the highest. It’s the real deal with seasoned competitors competing for real season points and positioning toward the championships.
