The Winterfest of Lights is back in Ocean City, Maryland, spreading holiday magic across the town. This year, the Art League of Ocean City invites you to make the season even brighter by participating in its annual “Trees for the Arts” event—a festive competition about creativity, community, and giving back.
From November 21st to December 31st, step into the Winterfest Pavilion to marvel at a dazzling display of 24 uniquely decorated trees. Each tree is lovingly crafted by local businesses and organizations, including some of your favorite Ocean City hotels and restaurants. Together, they’re lighting up the holidays for a great cause.
How It Works:
- Vote for Your Favorites: Each vote costs $1, and you can vote as often as you like. Every dollar raised will support the Art League’s youth programs.
- Help Choose the Winner: The tree with the most votes at the end of Winterfest will receive a $1,000 cash prize. Your votes could help your favorite tree take the crown!
What Makes It Special:
“Trees for the Arts” is more than a holiday event—it celebrates Ocean City’s creative spirit. Each tree tells its own story, showcasing the talent and festive imagination of the people and businesses that make this town shine.
OCMD Hotels and OCMD Restaurants will both have a tree decorated to represent all of your favorite properties! Here’s a sneak peek at what you can look forward to when you go to vote for yourself.
