Spectacular Views of the Show on Practice Day & Show Day from Atlantic City Beaches & Return of the Veterans Resource Row
This year’s Airshow is set to take to the skies above Atlantic City on Wednesday, August 16 starting at 11 a.m. Celebrating its 20th year in Atlantic City in 2023, the Visit Atlantic City Airshow is the world’s premier midweek beachfront airshow, drawing more than a half a million spectators annually.
“You have so many fan-favorite performers returning to the Atlantic City beaches for the Airshow’s 20th Anniversary in 2023 – talented military and civilian acts that dazzle crowds with their death-defying aerobatics and aerial tricks. This will truly be a once-in-a-lifetime show you will not want to miss,” said Greater Atlantic City Chamber President Michael Chait, organizer for this year’s Airshow.
The 2023 Visit Atlantic City Airshow will feature a combination of crowd-favorite military acts like the U.S. Army Golden Knights, U.S.A.F. Thunderbirds, the long-awaited reappearance of the U.S. Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier Demo Team and local 177th Fighter Wing of the N.J.
