Ocean City’s spring calendar continues with events that showcase the Boardwalk and downtown districts.

The free event will run from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. or while supplies last. Flyers will direct families to participating stores to collect eggs trick-or-treat-style.
Families are asked to bring their own baskets. The rain date is March 29. A second Great Egg Hunt is scheduled for 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. April 4 with a rain date of April 5.
