Downbeach.com, a subsidiary of Mediawize, LLC of Ocean City, has set up a page on its website to serve as a clearinghouse for community events that may need to be rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Local nonprofits and community organizations that currently have events scheduled for the coming months, or need to revise their event schedules, can have their events listed on the Downbeach Events page on the Downbeach.com website.
For instance, Margate Business Association is moving ahead with its annual Beachstock event scheduled for the last weekend in June, but if it's rescheduled, it will be important to pick a new date that does not conflict with other previously scheduled events.
Business leaders said having a clearinghouse for events would be beneficial not only to local organizations, but also to the public, and help prevent scheduling conflicts.
