Atlantic City Beer & Music Festival Returns in 2025

The Atlantic City Beer and Music Festival is making a triumphant return to its original home at the Atlantic City Convention Center on Saturday, March 29, 2025. This renowned event is a must-visit for beer aficionados and music lovers alike, offering a unique blend of craft brews and live performances.

The Atlantic City Beer and Music Festival is recognised as one of the premier beer events in the U.S. Featuring over 100 of the region's most innovative brewers and breweries, the festival provides an unparalleled opportunity to explore a vast array of craft beers. Whether you're a seasoned beer enthusiast or new to the craft scene, you'll have the chance to discover new favourites, uncover hidden gems, and engage directly with the masterminds behind the brews.

Since incorporating music into the festival in 2012, it has evolved into a dynamic entertainment experience. The 2025 festival continues this tradition with two exciting sessions:

Session 1 (12:00 PM – 4:00 PM): Senses Fail – This New Jersey-based post-hardcore band, led by vocalist Buddy Nielsen, has been a fan favourite since the early 2000s, known for hits from albums like Let It Enfold You.

Session 2 (7:00 PM – 11:00 PM): Me First and the Gimme Gimmes – A punk rock supergroup famous for their high-energy covers of classic songs across multiple genres, featuring members from bands like Lagwagon and Swingin’ Utters.

Spanning over half a million square feet, the festival offers much more than just beer and music. Attendees can enjoy carnival games, mystery beer tastings, a hot wing eating contest, and unique attractions like the Silent Disco and the Chugger Knight Charity Challenge. A wide range of local food vendors and interactive demos further enhance the festival experience.

General Admission tickets are on sale now, starting at $80 until March 24, after which prices increase to $90 (plus taxes and fees). Tickets can be purchased online at acbeerfest.com.
