Destination? Sunfest, Ocean City, Maryland, Fall Festival, The Second Season, Arts, Crafts, Live Entertainment, Maryland Beaches

Opening Day for Sunfest in Ocean City, Maryland was Thursday, September 24, 2015.  It is ranked the number one arts and crafts festival in the nation!!  It was filled with crafts, arts, food and entertainment.  Everything for the whole family to enjoy.

Walking on the award-winning boardwalk the visitors were enjoying a beautiful day at the beach.

Passing the ever popular Thrasher’s French Fries, already the line was so long.  To tell you the truth I am not such a big fan of them because I like my fries crispy.

Hundreds and hundreds of people were checking out this first day of Sunfest.  Apparently, the weather might be a little crazy on Saturday evening, so if you get a change today and tomorrow, please stop by.

The tent we were looking for was the Food Tent and we immediately found it.

One food vendor after another.  If you have been at Sunfest before you probably have your favorites.

You can sit down in the many tables available or just stand and use the tall tables as well.

Funnel Cakes anyone?

We decided on some Seafood Bisque with Lace chips!! Perfect combination.  They were so light.

Ross decided on pulled chicken and regular just made chips.

Sunfest will be opening Friday and Saturday from 10 1.m. until 10 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 .am. until 6 p.m.  During the day you can enjoy the live entertainment completely free, either in their open air venue or inside the tent.  In the evening the live entertainment is by ticket holder.  Depending on the entertainer you tickets could be as low as $15 to $60.  Please visit http://www.ococean.com

Stop Mr. Elvis himself, local color in Ocean City for many years.  Known to all the residents.  Take a photo.  He loves it!!

Some of the crafts that caught our attention:

Wire Sculpture by Devin Mack of Drawn Metal Studios.

The lady that works with clay.  She has been at the festival for years.  You can see her working the clay with such minute detail.

The driftwood sailboats and ships were really cute.  The company is Art Sea., from Pasadena, Maryland.

The painted ostrich eggs were very detailed.  Loved Starry Nights.

This next company’s baking is not your usual.  It looked so real, you could taste it…The Fake Baker.

The beautiful Adirondack Chairs, Hinkleys Chair Art….whatever you want, they will paint it.

Grabbing beers and on our way to listen to Skinny Leg Pete.  Definitely a party band.  Their genre?  soul, funk, blues and rock.  And, yes, people were dancing.

And then followed by Teenage Rust on the outdoor stage.

Thanks Cindi for inviting me…It was a great time with a BFF.

Have a great week-end!!
