Pride Parade

Launched in 2023,

the Ocean City Pride Parade was a symbolic celebration. The first Pride march in town, and on the iconic boardwalk, it was a tremendous success with over 300 participants—helping show that ALL are welcome in this beach town, and that there is space for the queer community to gather, celebrate, and be ourselves here.

The Parade is now set to be an annual event on the last Sunday in June. It is a simple, all-ages, ADA-accessible walk/ride from the inlet parking lot up the boardwalk to 2nd street and back, with sponsor giveaways and goodies, a photo wall, and of course, lots of gay joy.
