What else is in store at Country Calling Festival 2025?
Last fall, the town’s inaugural Country Calling Festival — which began as a 2-day event — drew thousands upon thousands of avid country music fans from all around, with some traveling from as far as Canada just to see their favorite artists hit the stage.
This year, over 35 country music artists will perform sets on three separate stages over the span of the 3-day, C3-produced festival. Two stages will be on the beach, and one on the historic Boardwalk.
In addition, festivalgoers will have access to Boardwalk amenities and its small businesses, including restaurants, bars, shops and more, as well as the beloved Jolly Roger at the Pier Amusement Park.
Both the Ocean City Boardwalk and action-packed amusement park — featuring countless food options, rides, games and much more — are located inside the festival grounds and included with the purchase of a Country Calling Festival ticket.
