Ocean City's Fabulous
Winterfest of Lights

The Town of Ocean City has assembled an awesome array of holiday light displays for its annual Winterfest of Lights.

Now with more than 1,000,000 lights and hundreds of displays, the 2 1/2-month celebration draws thousands of visitors to Northside Park at 125th Street and bayside and the Ocean City Inlet.

From mid-November through January, visitors will see unique light setups befitting a seaside resort, with Surfing Santas, animated Sharks, Santa hooking a Marlin from a charter boat, jumping Marlin, and Santa playing softball.

At Northside Park, the centerpiece of the celebration, you're welcomed by a magnificent sand sculpture and the city's 60-foot Christmas tree.

You'll also see Santa Claus at his workshop there in the weeks before Christmas. New for 1996-97 were a wedge of Swans, six Geese laying eggs, and a Skull Mountain display to accompany the Peter Pan and Captain Hook figurines from previous years.

One of Ocean City's boardwalk trains will carry you down the paths of displays at Northside Park for $4 for adults and children 11 years of age and younger are free.
