Oceans Calling Festival Reviews

We explored some forums and Reddit threads to find some relevant information from the people who already attended the festival.

“What was really unique about this festival is that you could buy whatever you want on the boardwalk, go inside the arcades and also go on any of the boardwalk rides during the concert! I did see a ton of people toting around oversized stuffed animals they won at the carnival… we really loved the arcade and rides, it was such a fun way to take a break.”

says 90daycray27 on Reddit.

“Being born and raised in MD, I’m glad that an event like this can help bring a lot of business during the off season in a town like Ocean City. I would definitely go again if I love the lineup next year! I’m hoping they keep the lineups similar because the demographic that it attracted was amazing.”
