As the calendar flips to 2025, there’s no shortage of action in Atlantic City.

Visit Atlantic City and the Atlantic City Commission said that 2024 was one of its most successful years to date – with 200 events and conventions throughout the calendar year.

And with a jampacked schedule right out of the gate in the first quarter of 2025, officials aim to continue that momentum this year.

“This is such an exciting time to be a part of Visit Atlantic City, and we expect 2025 to be a year filled with successful events and conventions,” said Gary Musich, president and CEO of Visit Atlantic City and the Atlantic City Commission. Musich recently took the helm, succeeding Larry Sieg.

The first quarter of 2025 includes popular events, such as:
