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. Utilizing our public spaces to their fullest capacity is not only a privilege, it's a civic duty for all who hold the capacity to do so. We are inviting our network of community partners to participate in this expansive and immersive presentation of the city's creative energy. This energy is what sustains culture and drives progress. Together we can throw a truly memorable and meaningful party that contributes to a reality where Atlantic City really is the place to be.
