New Restrictions on Street Performers Along OC Boardwalk

Don Rush

OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP) - Street performers on Ocean City's boardwalk will now have to adhere to new rules due approved by the city council.
 
WMDT-TV reports the council voted unanimously Monday for three new ordinances with hopes they will ease foot traffic along the boardwalk and make the experience more enjoyable.
 

The new ordinances will forbid street performers from performing past 1 a.m., using props over 5 feet tall and requiring performers to sign up each week and weekend at city hall to reserve their spots.
