Dew Tour Set-up Begins This Morning

Set-up begins in the early morning hours of Monday, July 11 in Ocean City for the 2011 Dew Tour.

The event will be held on the beach beginning north of the pier and up to Caroline Street, adjacent to the Boardwalk. Set-up will include a vert ramp, skateboard bowl and a BMX park along with a festival village.

To lessen impact on Boardwalk foot traffic, equipment will be brought in for set up during the early morning hours beginning Monday, July 11 between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. Venue construction will be during daytime hours leading up to the event.

The Dew Tour officially opens to the public on Thursday, July 21 and runs through Sunday, July 24, featuring extreme sports competition with the world’s top action sports athletes. Competitions include skateboarding and BMX events, which will be by ticketed admission. A festival village set up around the action sports venue will be open to the public for free, along with a Saturday evening concert, which will begin at 8 p.m.

Attendees to the event are encouraged to ride the bus to the venue, as parking will be limited. Bus service is $3 ride all day or $1 per boarding.

The West Ocean City Park & Ride on Route 50 is just west of the Route 50 Bridge and offers free parking and $1 round-trip shuttle service to downtown.
