Experience Springfest in OC


Springfest will be celebrating 33 years this May! From 5/2 – 5/5, Ocean City, Maryland comes alive with their beloved tradition combining food, music, arts and entertainment for all ages.

Vibrant Music

One of the highlights of Springfest is undoubtedly the electrifying lineup of live music with their two stages and over 20 groups from around the world. From local talents to renowned artists, the music at Springfest caters to everyone. Whether you’re a fan of rock, country, pop, or jazz, you’ll find something to get your toes tapping. Just picture yourself basking in the spring sun, surrounded by the sounds of live music and crashing waves. Purchase your tickets for the headliners, The Olivia Show – A Tribute to Olivia Newton-John, Lauren Alaina, and Everclear here.

Culinary Delights

No festival is complete without an array of food options, and Springfest does not disappoint. There are some returning vendors but also some newcomers to get excited about. Gosia’s Pierogies returns with their pockets of comfort, Tailbangers brings their gourmet dog treats for all of our furry friends, and Pecan Yummies and the crepe stand serve those who need their sweet treat. Delmarva Boil and Shore Spice & Pickle Co. will be in attendance this year marking the time to try an irresistable seafood boil and zesty pickles!

Arts, Crafts, and More

In addition to its musical and culinary offerings, Springfest also showcases the creative talents of artisans and crafters from across the region. You’ll fine handmade jewelry, unique artwork, intricate woodwork, and other one-of-a-kind creations. This year there are over 200 artisans with 20 of them being new additions! Make sure to check them all out and don’t forget that you’ll have access to all that the Ocean City boardwalk has to offer as well.
