And that's not all – 2023 promises to be bigger and more magical than ever.

Winterfest teams up with Marine Corps League, OC Jeep Club, Sugar Planet, and Toys for Tots for a special "Stuff The Jeep" event. Donate a new toy on November 18-19 to enter Winterfest for free (up to four per group). Enjoy the OC Jeep Club's holiday-themed parade on November 18, and Ocean City's Transportation Department's colorful boardwalk jeeps inside Winterfest Pavilion.

As you stroll through the Winterfest of Lights, you'll be greeted by a multitude of new displays and an enhanced configuration. The Winterfest Entrance Pavilion welcomes you with open arms, setting the stage for the festive spectacle that awaits. Follow the illuminated path through thousands of sparkling holiday lights and immerse yourself in the charm of animated light displays that line the paved park paths.

Take a moment to savor the season with a cup of hot chocolate, capture cherished memories with Santa Claus in a festive photo, try your hand at delightful family crafts, and explore unique gifts at our charming gift shop. Keep an eye out for captivating photo opportunities scattered throughout the park, including several interactive displays that will engage your senses and ignite your holiday spirit.

And, of course, the centerpiece of our winter wonderland is the awe-inspiring 50-foot Christmas tree, which promises to put on a show you won't soon forget.
