Instead of raking leaf after leaf to begin the fall season, head downy ocean, hon, for four days of live music, arts, food and fun at Ocean City's annual Sunfest.
The festival, starting today and running through Sunday, is the city's way of starting its "second season." The event kicks off with a parade down the Boardwalk, beginning at 12th Street.
Visitors can take hayrides on the beach, make scarecrows, participate in a jewelry treasure hunt and lots more. There'll also be a boat show, arts and crafts vendors, a kite festival and, on Sunday, a sand-castle contest where prizes include all-expense-paid vacations.
