Socially Speaking: The Dew Tour Underway to Ocean City

Posted by Shorebread | Friday, August 17, 2012

While searching for things to do in the Ocean City area this weekend, you're going to see all kinds of news about the Dew Tour - and rightfully so - it's a huge deal! The Dew Tour will be bringing sports, big headlining live bands, athletes, and entertainment to the shore. Best part? It's free this year! Socially Speaking, the Dew Tour is the place to be. Now, now, don't think we forgot about all of you who dislike large crowds of rallying youngins'... Here's a list of other events, activities, and neat things happening on the Eastern Shore this weekend:

Ocean City Dew Tour

The Dew Tour is back in town this weekend. The Tour will be set up on the beach (at Dorchester Street) for four days of non-stop action, featuring the biggest names in skateboarding and BMX. Like last year, there will be skate and BMX vert contests, as well as Pro and Legends competitions in the Dew Tour's portable concrete skate bowl. There will also be BMX park contests and an evening surf event. Several action sports stars are confirmed to compete. The Dew Tour Experience is an all-day party, with giveaways and athlete autograph sessions. The Dew Tour Pantech Beach Championships are free to attend, with Premium Passes available for purchase on the Dew Tour website.
