Visit Atlantic City is gearing up for a busy spring and summer season, driven by new developments and restaurants, expanded air service and the return of marquee events, like the Soar & Shore Airshow.

The destination builds on a strong start to 2026 — having already hosted 18 events, conventions and conferences. So far, the activity has generated 38,833 room nights, nearly 160,000 attendees,
[and] about $20 million in economic impact.

Officials expect momentum to continue with 17 major upcoming events and conferences, alongside a packed calendar of festivals, sporting events and conventions.

New additions this season include Breeze Airways’ nonstop routes to Atlantic City International Airport, upcoming restaurant openings at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, and a new partnership with Live Nation to expand entertainment offerings, as well as Seaview Hotel & Golf Club joining the Destination by Hyatt brand.
