The people of the South Jersey area spoke and we listened! In 2018, The Atlantic City Seafood Festival is returning to Bader Field where the acres of uninhabited, waterfront land will once again be transformed into a seafood lover’s dream! With the famous Atlantic City skyline as its backdrop, The Atlantic City Seafood Festival will feature over 40different local and regional seafood restaurants and purveyors who will be serving up their favorite seafaring dishes.

 

With the majority of the restaurants attending being brick and mortar Atlantic City restaurants, The Atlantic City Seafood festival will continue to give attendees the opportunity to experience this seaside city as a culinary destination. It is also a great opportunity for foodies and food seekers to meet some of Atlantic City’s most unique chefs and restaurateurs all while eating their tasty creations.From clams to calamari, oysters to ahi, and even alligator too, The Atlantic City Seafood Festival has it all!

 

The Atlantic City Seafood Festival gives attendees a reason to spend the day in Atlantic City by highlighting the fantastic dining options this coastal town has to offer. Whether it’s trying the vast selection of local restaurants, sipping Jersey made craft beers, cooking with local chefs, shopping unique exhibitors, playing in the sand, or feeding butterflies, you will find yourself immersed in The Atlantic City Seafood Festival and all it has to offer.

 

The Atlantic City Seafood Festival happens to fall every year during National Hunger Action Month, a nationwide Feeding America campaign,challenging the public to take action to help solve the issue of hunger in America! In honor of National Hunger Action Month, The Atlantic City Seafood Festival will once again support the Community Food Bank of New Jersey through the widely-popular Chowder Cook-Offin which all proceeds benefit theFood Bank! This cook-off will allow participants to sample chowder from some of the finest restaurants Atlantic City has to offer as they stroll the festival and decide what they are going to feast on! In 2017, through the Chowder Cook-Off, the Festival and restaurants, we were able to raise close to $16,000 which is the equivalent of 48,000meals distributed throughout the Garden State! This year we plan on increasing that donation with the support of our participating restaurants and festival attendees, one cup of chowder at a time!
