It's Purple Friday in Ocean City today as football fans celebrate the Ravens all weekend at the beach.

First, there's the Ravens Beach Bash, going now through Saturday at the Clarioon Resort Fontainebleu Hotel and beyond. Cheerleaders, players, mascots and more are on the scene for a weekend of activities that include tailgate party, bonfire, bar crawls - and football, too.

Then, there's the Council of Baltimore Ravens Roost club holding its annual convention in Ocean City this weekend, including the annual parade at 19th Street and Baltimore Avenue starting at 10 a.m. Saturday.

Judging from these pictures, the party is already started. So pack your purple and head east.
