Ocean City is planning to open the 2021 season with a number of safe events for families.
“Health and safety will always be our top priority, and we’re looking forward to the return of as many events as possible this year,” Mayor Jay Gillian said in a press release Friday. “After a year of so many sacrifices, it’ll be good to get back to some family fun.”
Each event will be in full compliance with current public health guidelines and require masks and social distancing.
