From bluegrass festivals, to ice skating championships, to major music headliners and Atlantic City Convention Center events such as boat shows and major antique and collective exhibitions -- Atlantic City events offer some of the most thrilling and diverse entertainment options on the Eastern seaboard.

From the very first day in January Atlantic City kicks off the New Year with a live Atlantic City Concert on the beach with games, refreshments, and even a polar bear swim. The rest of the year Atlantic City events are no exception, with such musical icons as Madonna and Little Richard coming through town to play at the famous Boardwalk Hall, thrilling locals and annual visitors alike. If you’re interested in an Atlantic City concert make your reservations early, as these venues tend to sell out quickly.

Throughout the peak summer season the Atlantic City Convention Center events are always a unique treat as well, offering shows such as the Atlantique City Spring Festival which has been billed as the largest indoor art, antique & collectibles show in the world with exhibitors from more than 40 states plus Canada, Great Britain, Europe and the Orient. The Atlantic City Convention Center also offers craft, collectible, garden and other specialty shows throughout the year, always with something for everyone.
