Atlantic City Airshow Returns as Soar & Shore Fest

After being canceled in 2024 due to funding and operational issues, the Atlantic City Airshow returned in 2025 as the rebranded Soar & Shore Festival. The revived event featured a two-hour airshow with performances by military and civilian aircraft, including the Misty Blues Parachute Team and a B-25 bomber. The weeklong festival also included car shows, fireworks, and various boardwalk and beach events, drawing large crowds despite hot and humid weather. Local officials and businesses noted sold-out hotels and a significant tourism boost, celebrating the festival's positive economic impact. Organizers are now seeking increased participation and sponsorship to further establish the festival as a major annual attraction. Attendees expressed strong hope that the event will continue in future years.
