Free concert to highlight OC mayor's open house
A free concert will highlight the 21st annual New Year’s Day Mayor’s Open House on Jan. 1 at the Ocean City Performing Arts Center.
After a traditional 30-minute meet and greet starting at 1 p.m., two of Delmarva’s musical staples will take the Performing Arts Center stage for a free concert.
Residents and visitors are invited to enjoy the brief meet and greet with the Mayor and City Council members, before taking a seat for the featured concert by Delmarva Big Band and Bryan Russo’s Bargain Scotch.
The meet and greet will include several of the town’s community partners. At 1:30 p.m., the theater doors will open, allowing guests to take their seats before the 1:45 p.m. performance begins.
“For 20 years, the Mayor’s Open House has offered the perfect opportunity for our citizens to meet with the elected officials that serve our community,” said Mayor Rick Meehan.

“The event has changed over the last several years, moving from City Hall to the Performing Arts Center. Along with meeting elected officials and community members, the event has become an opportunity to allow residents and visitors to enjoy an extraordinarily venue and great local talent, free of charge.
“I can’t think of a better way to welcome the New Year then enjoying a free concert in Ocean City. No matter your music preference, we invite you to bring your family and enjoy the afternoon in our stunning auditorium with performances by extraordinary local musicians. It’s going to be a great show!”
Participating in the event’s meet and greet are several of the town’s community partners, including the Ocean City Beautification Committee, the Ocean City Development Corporation, the Art League of Ocean City, the Chamber of Commerce, the Ocean City Life Saving Museum Society, the Beach Patrol and the Community Response Team.
Light refreshments will be provided by Center Plate.
