ATLANTIC CITY — Seafood lovers gathered at the Showboat Resort on Saturday for the Atlantic City Seashore Seafood Festival, a new summer attraction celebrating the region's rich coastal food culture just steps from the world-famous Boardwalk.
The festival featured a variety of seafood vendors serving everything from crab cakes and lobster rolls to shrimp platters, fried fish, and local favorites inspired by the Jersey Shore's fishing heritage. Visitors spent the afternoon sampling fresh seafood, enjoying live entertainment, and taking in ocean views from the festival grounds.
Families, tourists, and local residents explored vendor booths, relaxed at outdoor seating areas, and enjoyed a festive atmosphere that highlighted Atlantic City's growing reputation as a culinary destination. The event offered something for all ages, combining great food with music, shopping, and a welcoming Boardwalk experience.
Organizers plan to continue the Atlantic City Seashore Seafood Festival throughout the summer at the Showboat, giving visitors multiple opportunities to experience fresh seafood and seaside entertainment during the busy tourism season.
The festival adds another attraction to Atlantic City's summer calendar, drawing visitors beyond the casino floor and showcasing the city's connection to the Atlantic Ocean and South Jersey's maritime traditions.
From first-time visitors to longtime seafood enthusiasts, attendees embraced the opportunity to enjoy fresh catches, support local vendors, and celebrate the flavors that have made the Jersey Shore a favorite destination for generations.
