The 2024 Visit Atlantic City Airshow, titled “A Salute to Those Who Serve,” will take place on August 13 and 14. Celebrating its 21st anniversary, the event will be held at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall, located at 2301 Boardwalk, Missouri Avenue, and the Beach.

Sponsored by Visit Atlantic City, the airshow will feature spectacular aerial performances by the Polaris Ghost Squadron, U.S. Marine Corps MV-22 Ospreys, U.S. Army Golden Knights Parachute Team, and the 177th Fighter Wing of the N.J. Air National Guard, alongside an array of civilian performers.

The event is free to attend, with the airshow starting at 11 a.m. each day. Spectators are encouraged to bring their own chairs and umbrellas to enjoy the performances from the soft sand and boardwalk, taking in the sights and sounds while enjoying the ocean breeze.

For those viewing from the water, there will be a “no boat zone” to ensure safety, restricting access to the Atlantic City beach for all vessels except those operated by the U.S. Coast Guard, police, and other marine units. Boaters are reminded to practice safe boating and wear life jackets.

Land-based viewing options include Atlantic City’s free beaches and Boardwalk, as well as ocean-facing hotel rooms and outdoor venues. Parking is available throughout the city, and visitors can use the Atlantic City Jitney or NJ Transit bus or train services for transportation.
