Bronco Beach Bash 2026 Is Just One Month Away — Ocean City, Maryland Gets Ready for a Bronco Takeover

Bronco Beach Bash 2026 Is Just One Month Away — Ocean City, Maryland Gets Ready for a Bronco Takeover​

October 1, 2026

We’re officially just one month away from Bronco Beach Bash 2026 in Ocean City, Maryland!

From October 30 through November 1, 2026, Ocean City will trade some of its usual Halloween traffic for something much better: Broncos. Lots and lots of Broncos.

Bronco Beach Bash is bringing the Ford Bronco community back to the Maryland coast for three days of beach driving, sand, obstacles, vendors, parties and, most importantly, hundreds of Bronco enthusiasts getting together for one big weekend.

And BroncoBusting.com will be there!

We’re heading to Ocean City to cover the Bash, meet fellow Bronco owners, bust some Broncos and bring as much of the experience as possible to the BroncoBusting community. We also plan to stream live on YouTube from Ocean City, so even if you can't make the trip, you'll still have a chance to follow along with us.

Drive Your Bronco on the Beach​

For many owners, this is the big one.

Bronco Beach Bash includes scheduled beach cruises Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings, with staging at the Inlet Parking Lot. The current event schedule calls for the cruises to run from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., with participants instructed to air down to approximately 15–20 PSI before hitting the sand.

There's something special about seeing one Bronco cruising down the beach.

Seeing a huge line of them doing it together? That's a completely different experience.

Take on the Sand Obstacle Course​

Want to do more than cruise?

The Bash will also feature a custom sand obstacle course at the Inlet, giving Bronco owners an opportunity to put their rigs to work.

The course is scheduled to operate Friday and Saturday with multiple shifts, plus a Sunday morning session. Organizers say the course is designed to be approachable for different experience levels, and you don't need a heavily modified off-road Bronco to participate. Stock Broncos are welcome.

That means you don't need 37s, a massive lift and a Bronco covered in battle scars to come out and have some fun.

Vendor Headquarters at the Ocean City Convention Center​

The Roland E. Powell Convention Center at 4001 Coastal Highway will serve as event headquarters, including participant check-in and the vendor area. Vendors are currently scheduled to be open Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Expect plenty of opportunities to check out Bronco accessories, off-road gear, products, builds and companies serving the growing Bronco community.

And keep your eyes open for BroncoBusting while you're walking around.

Come over and say hello. We want to meet the people who read the site, participate in the forum, watch our videos and make this community what it is.

Show & Shine, Awards and Halloween in Ocean City​

Saturday adds another major attraction with the Main Show & Shine, currently scheduled from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., followed by an award ceremony at 4 p.m.

And remember the dates.

This isn't just Bronco Beach Bash weekend.

It's Halloween weekend.

Saturday night is scheduled to feature a Halloween Party and Costume Contest at BLU Crabhouse from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., complete with prizes. Organizers are encouraging participants to decorate their Broncos and get their crews into costume.

Broncos, Ocean City and Halloween all rolled into one weekend? This could get interesting.

All Broncos Are Welcome​

One of the best parts of Bronco Beach Bash is that it isn't limited to one generation.

The organizers specifically welcome classic 1966–1977 Broncos, full-size Broncos, Bronco IIs, 2021+ Broncos and Bronco Sports. You don't even have to own a Bronco to attend; spectators can visit the vendor areas and many of the public activities, although vehicle registration is required for certain driving experiences and participant activities.

Old school, new school, two-door, four-door, stock, lifted, trail rig or daily driver — this weekend is about the Bronco community.

BroncoBusting Is Going to Ocean City​

For us, this isn't an event we're simply going to write about from home.

We're going.

BroncoBusting will be in Ocean City for Bronco Beach Bash 2026, and we're planning plenty of coverage throughout the weekend.

We'll be looking for interesting builds, talking with Bronco owners, checking out the vendors, hitting the beach and obstacle course, shooting video and, of course, looking for Broncos that deserve to get #BroncoBusted.

We're also planning to go LIVE on the BroncoBusting YouTube channel from Ocean City, giving our community a chance to experience some of the Bash right along with us.

So if you see the BroncoBusting crew, don't be shy.

Come say hello.

You might just find yourself — and your Bronco — on BroncoBusting.

One Month and Counting​

As of October 1, we're down to approximately one month before Broncos begin rolling into Ocean City.

Bronco Beach Bash officially runs Friday, October 30 through Sunday, November 1, 2026, with beach cruises, the sand obstacle course, vendors, Show & Shine, parties and other activities spread throughout the weekend. Registration for the Ocean City event is currently open.

If you're thinking about going, now is the time to start getting the Bronco ready, making your travel plans and checking the official schedule for updates.

For registration, the latest schedule, event rules and additional information, visit BroncoBeachBash.com.

And if you can't make it to Ocean City, keep an eye on BroncoBusting.com and our YouTube channel.

We'll do our best to bring the beach — and the Broncos — to you.

30 days. Ocean City. Halloween weekend. Hundreds of Broncos.
