The Atlantic City Air Show is returning to South Jersey on July 15 and 16, which is great news for Atlantic City casinos and the rest of the local tourism industry. The show is back after getting cancelled last year because of financial issues and a major act dropping out.

Hotels and casinos will benefit from the influx of tourists the show is expected to bring. It brought 458,000 people in 2023, which generated between $50-$70 million in economic activity for the region.

The Casino Association of New Jersey (CANJ) emailed a statement to PlayNJ on the Atlantic City Air Show returning this July:

“The Casino Association of New Jersey is thrilled to hear that the Atlantic City Airshow will be returning this summer. The airshow has always been a highlight during the summer season, and we look forward to celebrating this renowned event in July.”
