A few ideas based on my experience:  I got to witness a wedding from my balcony at the Golden Sands....one of my favorite OC memories even though I had no idea who the lucky couple was.  They offer a banquet room as well as outstanding condos for rent for a destination wedding.

When my husband's grandmother turned 90, we celebrated in OC....the Clarion is wonderful to work with as is Harrison's Haborwatch if you are looking for a group get together as part of the festivities.

Congratulations and happy planning!

The official word from www.ococean.com is as follows: 

Pet Parents

Bringing your four-legged friend? It's important to note that animals are only allowed on the beach and boardwalk between October 1 and April 30. Any handler or owner of a dog must remove any waste deposited on public or private property not owned by the handler or owner in possession of said dog. Also, dogs must be kept on a leash when being walked in and around Ocean City.

During peak-season and year-round, a Dog Playground is available at 94^th Street and bayside so your pet can let loose and enjoy their time in Ocean City. For more information, contact OC Recreation & Parks at 410-250-0125 or click here.

There is a Bayrunner Shuttle that runs from Salisbury Airport to the West Ocean City Park and Ride. It is not free, but the shuttle from the Park and Ride into Ocean City is free.

Do what we always do, go swimming, have lunch or hit the beach. Hotels or a condos will give you your parking pass so you can park the car and most will take your cell number and call when the room is ready also.

If you mean the fireworks on the 4th of July the show starts at 9:30 and runs about 45 minutes to an hour. It is held at 2 locations. At the south end of town the fireworks are set off right near the pier. They can be seen throughout the south end of town, but the best location is on the beach south of about 12th Street. There is also a display of the same duration at the same time at the north end of town at Northside Park over the bay. These are best from the park, but there are still great views from the Delware line to about 110th Street.

There are also fireworks planned for every Tuesday night from 29 May to 28 August at 10pm at North Division Street. The duration has not been announced, but I'd guess about 10 minute shows. More info can be found here.

There will also be laser shows this summer at North Division Street on the beach every Sunday from 27 May 27 to 2 September 2.  Each show is approximately 8 minutes in length beginning at 9:30pm, 10:00pm and 10:30pm. More info can be found here.

All of these events are free! Have a great time in OC this summer!
