The Fourth of July in New Jersey’s Atlantic City means entertainment, beaches, DJ performances and fireworks — as well as the traditional Fourth of July parade. Over the course of the holiday, the city sees performances from Kesha, Hassan Minhaj, J. Worra, Dom Dolla and BIG GIGANTIC.
Beat the holiday heat at the beach or enjoy the day at one of Atlantic City’s newest attractions, Island Waterpark. For thrills, Steel Pier will open a new roller coaster this summer. Or take in a show at Spiegelworld’s “The Hook.”

Stroll the Atlantic City Boardwalk, which comes alive in summer. Fireworks dazzle every Saturday night at 10 p.m. all summer long, with an extra special version for Independence Day. Excellent fireworks views can be had from Tropicana Atlantic City.
If you should be Atlantic City before the Fourth of July, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino celebrates its sixth anniversary on June 28 at 9:30 p.m. Whenever your visit falls, the hotel is considered the epicenter of entertainment in AC with waterfront views, more than 15 restaurant options and lots of options for an unforgettable getaway.
For summer’s most patriotic weekend, there’s no better place to spend it than the Jersey Shore.
