Your Guide to the 2022 Atlantic City Airshow

The world-famous Atlantic City Airshow, a "Salute to Those Who Serve," will be back again this summer on Wednesday, August 24th! Be sure to mark your calendars and enjoy all of the aviation action one could ever dream of seeing!

Even though this year will mark the 17th Annual "Thunder Over the Boardwalk" Airshow... airshows have been around in Atlantic City since 1910! The first Airshow in 1910 was named the "Atlantic City Air Carnival," and attracted over 100,000 visitors to our very own Jersey Shore. This event has continued making history, year after year... drawing in over half a million (!) spectators to view the jawdropping air acts in person!
