The experience
What's special
North to Shore is a three-city New Jersey arts and entertainment festival across Newark, Asbury Park and Atlantic City, launched in 2023 and conceived by Governor Phil Murphy and First Lady Tammy Murphy. Each city hosts music, comedy, film, technology and art events, with panels, stand-up shows, concerts, workshops and film screenings. In its first two years it drew a total audience of over 500,000 to more than 650 shows in approximately 250 venues.
How it works
The 2026 season returned for a fourth year, with featured events running from 11 June to 19 July and further events on 1 August. There are no full festival passes: events have their own individual tickets or registrations, and many partner venues offer free events, classes and exhibits.

Getting there
Nearest airport EWR.
How do I get to North to Shore Festival?
By car
Most people drive to North to Shore Festival. The nearest major airport is EWR, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
AirTrain Newark connects all EWR terminals to Newark Liberty International Airport Station on the Northeast Corridor line, with direct NJ Transit and Amtrak service into Newark Penn Station (roughly 5-10 min rail journey), the flagship anchor for NJPAC's Newark shows. From Newark Penn Station, the North Jersey Coast Line runs direct to Asbury Park (a quick transfer at Long Branch on some trips) and the Atlantic City Rail Line connects (via Philadelphia 30th St) to Atlantic City Rail Terminal, adjacent to the Convention Center.
Book / infoBy bus & public transit
NJ Transit's own North to Shore travel page lists dedicated bus routings for each host city. Newark is served by 30+ local lines including 1, 5, 11, 13, 21, 28, 29, 30 and express services. Asbury Park Transportation Center is served by routes 830, 832, 836, 837 and 317 (317 also runs Asbury Park-Fort Dix-Atlantic City). Atlantic City has 13 dedicated lines (319, 501-509, 551-554, 559).
Book / infoTaxi & rideshare
Rideshare covers all three cities. Notably, Lyft is the named 'Official Rideshare Partner of Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall' in Atlantic City with a first-two-rides discount code (BWHALL) per Boardwalk Hall's own site, relevant if North to Shore programs an event there.
Book / infoTaxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
Affiliate Flying in? You can book an airport transfer from EWR in advance rather than joining the taxi queue on arrival. Transfer links may earn Froligo a commission; they never change the price you pay.
🅿 Parking
On site parking available. Cost NJPAC/Military Park Garage: $10-$28, with $1 off for booking the day before or earlier, per NJPAC's own directions page. Prepay via NJPAC's own booking site. No dedicated rideshare-only overflow zone documented for NJPAC. Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City names Lyft as its official rideshare partner (see airport_transport) which functions as its de facto preferred drop-off arrangement.
