Don your vintage bathing suit and join Friends as we herald the opening of the ocean for the 2026 season!

This annual event sponsored by Ocean City, the Chamber of Commerce, and the OC Lifeguards, marks the opening of the ocean for the summer season. Come celebrate with us!

A group of us Friends, will brave the still-icy waters to make a rather fashionable splash in our vintage swimwear. There will thrills! Chills! Snacks! And after, YOU CAN GET A FREE DRINK AT THE FLANDERS HOTEL COFFEE SHOP IF YOU GO THERE IN YOUR WET VINTAGE SUIT!

Vintage suits are available for purchase ($25) at REGISTRATION.
