Anybody with the app will receive notifications with a link to a map that will follow Santa’s trip through town. Santa’s arrival in downtown Ocean City will cap off the Miracle on Asbury Avenue celebration that includes shopping specials 2 to 5 p.m. and free horse-and-carriage rides noon to 3 p.m. Members of the same household are invited to board for the carriage rides on the grounds of the Ocean City Tabernacle at Sixth and Asbury. The tree at City Hall will be illuminated at 5 p.m. Please mask up to ensure the health and safety of all.
