proved to be a successful venue for the Summer Dew Tour last year, and it appears that the event is returning this summer.
The mayor and city council of the Maryland resort town approved dates last week for the competition to come to
Aug. 16-19.
The four-day event will include motorcross, skateboarding and surfing, as well as a festival village and concert performance. Organizers say the event will be broadcast on NBC and the the NBC Sports Network.
Last summer's competition, which took place in July, drew a Dew Tour record of more than 70,000 fans. It marked the first time that the Dew Tour visited a beach location.
"Given the success of the Summer Dew Tour last year, it's easy to see why we sought approval to return this summer," Dew Tour general manager Chris Prybylo said in a statement. "The level of support from the mayor, city council, city staff and local businesses contributed to the tremendous outcome of last year."
Prybylo said that an official announcement will be made in "the coming months."
