OCEAN CITY – OC BikeFest and Delmarva Bike Week return this week for the first time under one command, providing event locations in both Wicomico and Worcester counties, but at the end of the day organizers are encouraging attendees to come together to enjoy national acts at the beach. OC BestFest promoter Cliff Sutherland of OC Jams LLC announced in early March that his company had purchased Delmarva Bike Week. OC BikeFest is now in its third year rallying motorcycles to Ocean City. Sutherland first proposed OC BikeFest to the Town of Ocean City back in 2010 after the Harley-Davidson dealership on Route 50 in West Ocean City closed to consolidate operations with its sister store in Seaford. The local dealership had served as the grounds for Delmarva Bike Week in Ocean City, and once it closed the closest venues were in Salisbury at Perdue Stadium and Winter Place Park or the Harley Davidson in Seaford. Sutherland, who has served on Morgantown’s Convention and Visitor’s Bureau and the State of West Virginia Tourism Commission, understood the economic impact Delmarva Bike Week brought to Ocean City, and after vacationing for over 40 years in the resort he did not want to see the town suffer from the loss of the event. For the most part, Delmarva Bike Week is remaining the same this year with two vendor locations at Perdue Stadium and Winter Place Park in Salisbury, except for festivities kicked off a day early on Wednesday. Both event locations are free to enter and Winter Place Park will feature its traditional beer garden with a new addition of Budweiser’s mobile pub. For more details, visit Delmarva Bike Week’s website, www.delmaravabikeweek.com. OC BikeFest is taking place in Ocean City at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center and the Inlet Parking Lot downtown. This year, all vendors will be placed outdoors in the convention center’s parking lot with the facility providing a pub at the front door offering drinks and food. This location is free to enter. At the convention center, bike manufacturers, such as Star Demo Fleet and Victory Motorcycles, will be offering demo rides. The largest sponsor for OC BikeFest and Delmarva Bike Week, Rommel HarleyDavidson, will also be on the scene with over 100 motorcycles for sale as well as a full-service station just in case someone is need of a repair. The Inlet is the only event location not free of charge as live entertainment is scheduled continuously throughout the weekend on two different stages.
