The Atlantic City Airshow - Thunder Over the Boardwalk

The August 13, 2014 Atlantic City Airshow, Atlantic City's signature summer event, will be the centerpiece of a week filled with activities for the whole family to enjoy, beginning August 10 through August 16, 2014.

From a silent movie accompanied by organ music at Boardwalk Hall, to a parade honoring our U.S. armed forces on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, to the thrilling air demonstrations of the U.S.A.F. Thunderbirds, parachute flag jump by the U.S. Army Golden Knights and other world-class aerobatics teams, to free concerts on the beach through the CRDA Summer Concert Series, the Chicken Bone Beach Jazz Series, International Night Series, DO AC Summer Boardwalk Music Series and the Gardner's Basin Free Concert Series, all areas of the Atlantic City Tourism District will be alive with the sights and sounds of summer fun. See the full week's schedule on the following page.

This year's Atlantic City Airshow has the military teams back in action. Demonstrations and flybys will include performances by the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Marine Corps, and other civilian acts. See the full Atlantic City Airshow schedule on the following page.

The Atlantic City Airshow is the largest one day, midweek, over-the-ocean airshow in the country, and is a community partnership between the Greater Atlantic City Chamber; the City of Atlantic City; the 177th Fighter Wing of the N.J. Air National Guard; South Jersey Transportation Authority; FAA William J. Hughes Tech Center; The Atlantic City International Airport; David Schultz Airshows, LLC; the Atlantic City Alliance; the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority and many others.

Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa is the host hotel and Atlantic City International Airport (ACY) is the host airport for the Atlantic City Airshow. The majority of Atlantic City Airshow performers take off and land via ACY, although the Atlantic City Airshow takes place over the beach and Boardwalk in Atlantic City.

Visitors might also want to check out the free practice day on Tuesday, August 12, 2014, traditionally a popular event in itself, when a shortened flight schedule primes smaller audiences before the big day. The annual Atlantic City Salutes the Armed Forces Parade will kick off the fun-filled week on Monday, August 11 beginning at 6:00 p.m. on the Atlantic City Boardwalk.
