First Day Shopping Extravaganza

The Night in Venice boat parade and house decorating contest is a celebration on the water and at homes along the bayfront in Ocean City. Each July, the signature event attracts throngs of visitors and residents. And every year, the Night in Venice (NIV) Planning Committee creates a theme that boat owners and homeowners can follow if they choose to or do their own theme. The theme for this year's event is “Summertime Vibes: A Tribute to Jimmy Buffett,” to honor the memory of the legendary musician whose career spanned 50 years.
