Event Details:

The Ocean City Museum Society invites the community to celebrate the holiday season at its annual Holiday Open House on Sunday, December 7, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at both the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum and the Museum of Ocean City. Admission is free for everyone; both locations will be filled with festive activities, local history, and coastal holiday charm.

At the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum, author Corinne Litzenberg will host a variety of creative, hands-on holiday activities. These include mosaic card-making and a sea glass identification station. Her beloved book, “S is for Seaglass,” will also be available for purchase, making it the perfect gift for the beach lover in your life. Throughout the day, guests can enjoy live performances by The Jolly Tars, who will fill the museum with sea shanties and sailor lore. Additionally, visitors can tour the boat room to learn about the rich history of the United States Life-Saving Service, while sampling “Railroad Cake,” a popular dessert dating back to the early 19th century.

Just a short trip away, the Museum of Ocean City will host a holiday wreath-making activity using local foraged greenery. Participants can create a small wreath for free or a larger wreath for $10 to take home—a perfect family-friendly activity for all ages. Advance registration is encouraged, as space is limited; sign up online.

While crafting, enjoy a hot cocoa station, holiday music, and plenty of seasonal spirit. Guests are also invited to take advantage of a special 20% off storewide sale (some exclusions may apply), providing an excellent opportunity to pick up unique, locally inspired gifts for everyone on your list. In the spirit of giving, the Museum Society is collecting canned food donations to support Diakonia. Visitors are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item; every little bit helps during this holiday season.

Celebrate the holidays with history, creativity, and community at this year’s Ocean City Museum Society Holiday Open House — a beloved local tradition that welcomes families, friends, and visitors to experience the magic of the season by the sea.
