Festival Food Without Festival Pricing: Where to Eat in the Country Calling Festival

Heading to the Country Calling festival in Ocean City, MD, and looking for delicious eats without the inflated festival prices? While the festival promises great music and entertainment, the food stands can sometimes stretch your budget. Luckily, just a short stroll from the festival grounds, you’ll find two spots that offer a better bang for your buck: The Wedge and Harrison’s Harbor Watch.

Want to know how to get there? Just walk south down the boardwalk and turn right at the OC Life Saving Museum.

The Wedge

If you’re craving a relaxed vibe, The Wedge is your go-to spot. Located at the inlet’s edge, The Wedge serves up a variety of casual favorites like burgers, tacos, and signature sandwiches. These will leave you satisfied without breaking the bank.

Their menu is perfect for festival-goers who want to fuel up before or after a long day of dancing and singing along to their favorite country hits. With outdoor seating offering unbeatable views of the bay and Assateague Island, The Wedge is a laid-back, wallet-friendly option just steps away from the festival.

Harrison’s Harbor Watch

For those looking to experience the best of Ocean City’s seafood without the festival price tag, Harrison’s Harbor Watch is a must-visit. This restaurant has been an Ocean City staple for years. It offers incredible views of the inlet and some of the freshest seafood in town.

Harrison’s Harbor Watch takes pride in their locally sourced seafood, providing a dining experience that remains reasonably priced. It’s a fantastic spot to comfortably wind down in a booth and enjoy dinner after a day filled with music.

Skip the pricey festival food stands and indulge in some local flavor instead!
