4 Things To Do In Ocean City This Week: Oct. 15-20

OCEAN CITY, NJ — Even though it's Ocean City's shoulder season, there's still plenty to do. Here are four potential activities this week.

Fire Department Open House

5-8 p.m. Thursday, fire station at 550 Asbury Ave.

The Ocean City Fire Department and IAFF Local 4032 will hold their rescheduled open house. Everyone in the community is invited for the free event.

It will feature a live burn demonstration, a “smoke house” where kids can safely learn to navigate a dark and smoky structure, tours of trucks, “stop-drop-and-roll,” hot dogs and pretzels.

The annual event coincides with national Fire Prevention Month and gives the community a chance to learn more about how the department works. Off-duty firefighters from the local firefighters’ union volunteer their time to produce the event.

Rain date will be Oct. 11. The event was scheduled for last week but was postponed due to weather.

Bingeing on Bolling

7 p.m. Friday, Ocean City Free Public Library

The library will host Pamela Whitman’s Playmates Quartet as the group performs the music of Claude Bolling. Admission is free.

Porsche Boardwalk Reunion

11 a.m. Saturday, Boardwalk between Fifth and 14th streets

All Porsche models built since 1948 will be displayed. A special display will show 914s, the 50th anniversary of that model. The Music Pier will host various tech sessions beginning at noon. For more information, call (703) 992-4519 or visit www.boardwalkreunion.org.
