Tony Mart Presents is ramping up for another season of pop-up parties, world-class free concerts, and celebrations one after another.
Voted by USA Today readers as the No. 1 outdoor concert series in the country in 2023, organizers of the 2024 AtlantiCare Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point are hoping for a repeat this year and they are asking for your help. Go to tonymart.com and click on the link. There are only a few days left.
Music lovers are invited to a special 2024 season kick-off show in Somers Point on Friday night, May 31 at 8:30 p.m. in Josie Kelly’s ballroom. It will be an evening of partying, dance music, Tony Mart classics, country music and all your favorite requests with the Tony Mart Allstars featuring Danny Eyer and several guests to be announced.
The concert and most of the new pop up concerts are being sponsored by Conservatory Cannabis Co., opening in Egg Harbor Township soon.
The summer lineup will feature 10 world class free shows. This whirlwind of free parties reaches a climax on July 4 when John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band celebrate the legacy of Eddie and the Cruisers with a 2-plus-hour, nonstop concert of the music from the movie plus all his great music hit after hit, including “Wild Summer Nights,” “Tender Years,” and “On The Dark Side.”
The very next night, Somers Point begins its mega celebration for the summer, Mardi Gras in July. Beginning on Friday, July 5, at Somers Point’s Morrow Beach and continuing to Monday, July 8, at The Point Tiki bar and restaurant where the Jersey Gumbo Cook Off will start at 3 p.m. with many renowned chefs competing, and a five-concert free New Orleans music festival with free parking.
Headlining the show at Mardi Gras July 5 and at the Jersey Gumbo Festival on July 8 is world-class Cajun fiddler and Bourbon Street entertainer Waylon Thibodeaux, from Tab Benoit’s Voice of the Wetlands Allstars; and performing for the first time ever in South Jersey, Ben Levin and his Mardi Gras piano band with local stars Bobby Ferguson on trumpet and Howard Isaacson on saxophone, and special guest Danny Eyer, bringing the blues guitar to the Mardi Gras.
Tony Mart Presents is offering free reserved tickets to this event. Just let them know how many you would like. Email your requests to tonymartpresents@gmail.com.
You’re also invited to keep the party going Wednesday nights this summer during the Mardi Gras on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City starting June 26.

Let the good times roll!
