Local Poop
This is a big week in Ocean City. The main event is Oceans Calling, which takes over the Inlet and lower Boardwalk Friday–Sunday, September 25–27.
🌊 Ocean City this week
Wednesday, Sept. 23
Relatively quiet around town. The local event calendars show no major scheduled event today.
This is actually a good day to enjoy the beach, Boardwalk, fishing, or dinner before the festival crowds arrive.
Thursday, Sept. 24
Still relatively quiet, but you'll start seeing Oceans Calling setup and increased activity around the Inlet.
If you're looking for a relaxed beach day, I'd choose Thursday over the weekend.
🎵 Friday, Sept. 25 — Oceans Calling begins
Three-day festival at the Ocean City Inlet.
Dave Matthews Band headlines Friday, with Hootie & the Blowfish, Ludacris, O.A.R., Yellowcard, Shaggy, Liz Phair and others on the lineup.
🎸 Saturday, Sept. 26
Twenty One Pilots and Gwen Stefani headline.
Goo Goo Dolls, Third Eye Blind, 311, All Time Low, Violent Femmes and others are also scheduled.
🎶 Sunday, Sept. 27
Mumford & Sons and Matchbox Twenty headline.
The Head and the Heart, My Morning Jacket, Hanson, Caamp, OK Go and others are scheduled.
🏖️ If you're there but NOT going to Oceans Calling
I'd actually take advantage of Wednesday or Thursday for the beach and Boardwalk. The Ocean City Boardwalk will be considerably more enjoyable before the festival crowds descend.
For a waterfront evening, Fager's Island is a good option, particularly if you want sunset, dinner and live entertainment. Sunset Grille in West Ocean City is another waterfront choice.
And if you're looking for the full Ocean City party atmosphere, Seacrets is doing its usual bayfront/nightlife thing.
One thing I'd flag
Friday through Sunday will be substantially different from a normal late-September Ocean City weekend. Oceans Calling is a major three-day festival, with national acts and a large crowd concentrated around the Inlet and Boardwalk.
Funny Poop
A man awoke one evening to discover prowlers in his storage shed. He immediately called 911, gave his address, to report the prowlers and possible burglary. The operator at the other end said "Are they in your house?" He said they were not, only in his storage shed in back of the house. The operator said there were no cars available at that time. He thanked the operator, hung up the phone and counted to 30 and called again. "I just called you about prowlers in my storage shed. Well you do not have to worry, as I just shot them all dead!" Within seconds there were 3 police cars, an ambulance and fire engine at the scene. After capturing the prowlers red-handed, the policeman asked the caller, "I thought you said you had shot them all!" The man answered, "I thought you said there were no police available”.
Etcetera
Got Poop? Let me know! I’m going to try to get this out every Wednesday so if you get it to me by Tuesday, I’ll try to include it. Your input is appreciated.

Life is short. Focus on the good. And remember, Keep the Party Going!

And put that ball across the line
So, fly with talons spread wide
Go in and strike with Ravens pride
