Martin Z. Mollusk Day is an actual event based on a fictional character named Martin Z. Mollusk, a hermit crab who serves as the mascot for Ocean City, New Jersey. The character was created by Mark Soifer, the former public relations director of Ocean City, as a part of the city's efforts to promote tourism in a fun and whimsical way.
Martin Z. Mollusk Day features the annual "Creep" on the first Friday of May's first full weekend, where a hermit crab sits on the beach or sometimes a small carpet. According to local lore, summer will come a week early to the shore town if it sees its shadow.
Martin Z. Mollusk has become a beloved figure in Ocean City, and many visitors and residents look forward to his appearances and antics throughout the year.
