A sunny but blustery Saturday brought big crowds to Ocean City on Saturday for the holiday weekend.
And Sunday’s forecast calls for more of the same mild weather with a little less wind. The National Weather Service forecast calls for a sunny day with a high of 55 degrees and southwest winds of 13 to 18 mph. Some gusts on Saturday topped 40 mph.
But the second of two Easter Egg Hunts a week apart drew thousands to the beach between 11th and 14th streets to watch children age 7 and younger hunt for treats.
Rides at Playland’s Castaway Cove and Gillian’s Wonderland Pier were open, and the boardwalk saw summer-like pedestrian traffic.
Easter events continue on Sunday with a Sunrise Service on the Ocean City Music Pier and a Fashion Promenade.
THE EASTER SUNRISE SERVICE: Starts 6:30 a.m. at Music Pier, Boardwalk and Moorlyn Terrace. Congregational Singing plays a large part in the program. 800 worshippers will become a choir to sing Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus with trumpets and piano. Copies of the music will be distributed along with the program. Experienced singers will lead everyone through the unique experience. All are welcome to attend.
EASTER FASHION PROMENADE: Starts in front of the Music Pier at 1 p.m. Prizes for Best Dressed participants. Take photos with the Easter Bunny who will have chocolate bunnies for the children. Emcee will be Michael Hartman, founder of the Ocean City Theatre Company. For information call (609) 399-6111.
