Due to onshore winds that are forecast to increase in strength this evening, the First Night fireworks display scheduled for midnight has been canceled.

All other events in Ocean City’s First Night New Year’s Eve celebration remain on schedule. All-inclusive admission buttons will be on sale at City Hall (Ninth Street and Asbury Avenue) through 9 p.m.

The parking lot at Fifth Street and Boardwalk will now be open with free parking for First Night attendees. Ice-skating has been moved indoors to the Ocean City Intermediate School at 1801 Bay Avenue.
