There’s a Ton of Free Stuff To Do This Summer on the Atlantic City Boardwalk

There is absolutely no shortage of fun -- and free -- things to do on the Atlantic City Boardwalk this summer.

Broadway on the Boardwalk returns to Kennedy Plaza on July 16th and 23rd at 8PM, hosted by "One Funny Mother" comedian Dena Blizzard.

Enjoy Atlantic City this summer!
