The Berlin Commercial Historic District is located on Maryland's Eastern Shore about seven miles inland from Ocean City.

The Berlin Commercial Historic District is significant for its late 19th Century Commercial Architecture. The boundaries of the district were established to include all of the buildings that characterize the stylistic motif of the original market center and roughly coincide with the boundaries of the core group of buildings. Boundaries include Main, Broad, Williams, Bay, Pitts and Commerce Streets.

In 1998 the movie "Runaway Bride staring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere" was shot in this Historic District.

A "Spring Festival" was being held the day these pictures were taken.
