About

The official H2oi event dates back to before 2000 when a group of friends hosted a car meet in Connecticut, where approximetly 200 water cooled Audis and Volkswagens gathered. In the following year the event moved to several locations such as Ocean Downs, Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School, and Fort Whaley campground. In the year 2011, the event moved to its seemingly final location, Ocean City, Maryland. At this point in time, the city of Ocean City welcomed and the event at the local convention center, and up until 2017 the event and its hosts kept the event here. In 2017 the event was officially moved to Atlantic City, New Jersey although the majority of the attendees stayed in Ocean City.

Many people might consider 2014-2019 the peak era of H2oi, considering attendance, the community, location, and organization. However, many attendees of H2oi 2020 would agree that the event lost a sense of community and being about cars, and was much more about causing a scene above anything else. In the future hopefully we'll learn from our mistakes and create a better and more succesful event.
