It was not your average Friday evening on the Boardwalk. The “Toy Story 4” RV made its splashy debut in front of the Ocean City Music Pier amid an enthusiastic reception from big crowds. The lines stretched along the Boardwalk filled with children accompanied by their parents awaiting their chance to see what the movie-themed RV had to offer. There were carnival games, multiple spots for photo opportunities and trivia. Everything featured the characters from “Toy Story 4,” including Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Jessie and Forky.

The first 75 boats to register will receive an “Ocean City Swag Bag” filled with goodies. Boat owners also get a complimentary photo of their boat in the parade and a commemorative mug.
