One day. One place. A full-tilt celebration of Atlantic City’s creative spirit—featuring art, live performances, and stories from all 48 blocks 🧃🦜

48 Blocks Festival is a fully-loaded festival, complete with two stages of local live music, theater, and poetry, a full schedule of art activities and demonstrations, a marketplace of exhibiting artists and vendors, social service resources, restaurant pop-ups, and most importantly, you.

This festival is dedicated to the diverse and unique; to the beautiful and strange; the beloved and misunderstood: to the artist in us all. 

Evolving from a citywide public arts initiative, 48 Blocks Festival is a culmination of Atlantic City’s creative energy presented as a free day-long celebration of art, culture, and community, where everyone is invited and participation is encouraged.

48 Blocks is a program of the Atlantic City Arts Foundation to bring public art to every Atlantic City neighborhood, made possible by our networks of artists, volunteers, donors, and community partners. 

Community Participation: We are inviting our network of community partners to participate in this expansive and immersive presentation of the city's creative energy. Learn more and confirm your interest.
