Atlantic City Airshow 2022: The Best Viewing Spots & More

Planning on attending this year’s Atlantic City Airshow 2022? Here is your guide to the best viewing spots and everything else you need to know before the big day.

August is now upon us and Atlantic City is packed with things to do in the sunshine. Next up on the calendar the Atlantic City Airshow 2022.

Also known as ‘Thunder over the Boardwalk’, this impressive show in the sky has been running now since 2003. The 2003 Airshow took place to celebrate 100 years of powered flight.

Ever since, spectators have gathered in large numbers to watch the show each year. This year, it returns to the Jersey Shore on August 24, 2022. Here’s everything you need to know about the 2022 Atlantic City Airshow, from parking options to the best seats in the house!

Where & When is the Atlantic City Airshow 2022?

The Airshow takes place on Wednesday, August 24, 2022. At the moment, the start time is 11 a.m. and the show normally lasts four to five hours. Given that the Airshow takes place on a Wednesday, it is pretty incredible that it attracted around 500,000 people every year!

So, where is the Atlantic City Airshow? Well, the show goes by another name, ‘Thunder over the Boardwalk‘. So the aircrafts fly above the Atlantic City boardwalk as the name suggests.

But the ‘official’ location is the Jersey Shore. With that location comes numerous prime viewing spots. Keep reading to find out about some of the best viewing locations for the Airshow this year.

Premium Viewing Spots: Looking for the Best Seats in the House?

At Flightline Club you will be located on a private part of the beach, right next to the flying area. There is a shaded tent section for those who wish to spend their day there, with plenty of food and drink options inside. The Airshow’s announcer can also be heard here.

Meet AC Atlantic City Airshow Viewing Party at Bally’s Beach Bar

VIP Watch Party at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall

Ticket Price: $135 – buy here.

Yes, the Boardwalk Hall is indoors. But you actually have an incredible view of the Airshow from the private outdoor balcony which overlooks the AC boardwalk. That’s what makes it an impressive viewing location for the show!

Your ticket to the VIP Watch Party at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall includes lunch, bottled water and Coca-Cola products if you fancy them. A great day out for sure.
