Ocean City Fireworks Time Changed to 10:15 Tonight

The fireworks display originally scheduled for 10:30 p.m. tonight (Wednesday, July 16) has been moved up by 15 minutes and will now start at 10:15 p.m.

The storms that scattered across the East Coast for the first three days of the week are gone, and the sun is shining through a partly cloudy sky on Wednesday afternoon. The forecast is clear for tonight.

The event is part of two new fireworks nights this year (Father’s Day Weekend and July 16) sponsored by the Boardwalk Merchants Association. The show will be visible from any of the downtown blocks of the beach and boardwalk.

The fireworks will be launched from a barge off the Ocean City Music Pier between Eighth and Ninth Streets.

The sponsoring merchants scheduled the display to cap off an evening on the Ocean City Boardwalk.

The sun will return for Thursday and Friday with daytime high temperatures in the low 80s.
