Our events
Pride Parade
The first Pride Parade in Ocean City was inaugurated in 2023—a walk down the historic boardwalk, in all our rainbow glory. Its overwhelming support and success made sure: this will be an annual celebration.
Pride Prom
The event that started it all. A big gay soireé for all, hosted by and in The Buzzed Word. The first Pride party in town, and certainly not the last. Growing every year, it’s a 16+ event for anyone who loves to dress up and get down, in the style of true a true prom.
