•Festival food vendors are mostly cash-friendly but lines at the ATM get long — bring cash for faster ordering.
•Go hungry but pace yourself: tasting-style events reward sampling small portions at many stands over filling up at the first one.
•Wine and beer festivals at the shore usually require ID at the gate regardless of age, and many issue tasting wristbands you'll need for every pour.
•Parking in Ocean City: Limited free street parking away from beach. Metered spots fill early on weekends.
