The holiday season is usually a time for gathering with friends and family, but this year your holiday plans may look a bit different. You can still celebrate the most wonderful time of the year in Ocean City, but we ask you to remain vigilant while you are here and consider the following:

Spend the holidays cozy and warm with your immediate family members, and connect over turkey virtually with your extended family and friends from afar!

  • If you decide to deck the halls with an intimate holiday gathering, limit the number of guests from various households and ensure there’s plenty of room to socially distance!
  • Take advantage of Ocean City’s beautiful oceanfront and bay views and spend time together outdoors!
  • Avoid taste testing this year’s side dishes and wear a mask while preparing and serving food.

For more tips on how to celebrate the holidays in a healthy way, visit the CDC website. If you plan to visit OC for the holidays, here’s how you can do your part to keep OC healthy this winter!
