The story

North to Shore Festival in Atlantic City

North to Shore Festival is a multi-city New Jersey arts and music initiative launched in 2023 by Governor Phil Murphy and produced by the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, spanning Newark, Asbury Park, and Atlantic City. In its fourth year (2026), the big-ticket concerts are concentrated in Newark and Asbury Park, while Atlantic City's role has shifted to a year-long community arts programming initiative launched in May 2025 rather than a standalone festival weekend.

Its statewide ambition and official backing make it a strong arts row.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's stated purpose is to showcase New Jersey as a hub for the performing and visual arts, film, and innovation, with state government backing (conceived by Governor Murphy and former First Lady Tammy Murphy) unusual for an American arts festival

02

The mystery stays covered

Past editions have booked large acts such as Hot 97's Summer Jam and LL Cool J's Rock the Bells in Newark

03

The city starts moving

In Atlantic City specifically, rather than a single festival weekend, organizers have run an extended, calendar-year program of community arts activity, making its Atlantic City presence harder to characterize as a discrete, dated event compared with the Newark and Asbury Park components
