Ocean City compresses a full events economy into a ten-mile barrier island. Seacrets, the sprawling Jamaican-themed bayfront complex, is one of the highest-grossing bars in America and runs live music across multiple stages deep into the night all summer. The boardwalk supplies free concerts and constant street performance, while Sunfest each September closes the season with a long weekend of music and crafts at the inlet. Motorcycle rallies, car shows, and fishing tournaments fill the shoulder seasons, including the White Marlin Open, one of the world's richest billfish tournaments. From June through August, the whole town is effectively one continuous event.
