Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall

Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall is a large, bookable event venue on Atlantic City’s famous Boardwalk. Its main arena can be configured for concerts, sporting events, family shows and other large-scale productions, with seating for up to 14,770 people depending on the event layout. Organisers can also enquire about the Adrian Phillips Theater, a separate 23,100-square-foot space with a capacity of up to 3,200. It can host performances, boxing, dance, theatrical productions, galas and corporate dinners.

The venue welcomes booking enquiries from promoters and other event organisers, with rental rates provided through its booking request process. Its different spaces give planners options for productions of varying formats and audience sizes, from major live entertainment to more intimate functions. The venue’s group sales team can also help groups attending scheduled shows, and meeting rooms are available for birthday parties, anniversaries and corporate functions. For these group occasions, organisers can ask about arrangements such as a pre-show gathering or reception.

Opened in 1929, Boardwalk Hall combines a distinctive historic setting with modern event facilities. It sits in the centre of Atlantic City’s seafront entertainment district, giving guests access to the Boardwalk and nearby hospitality and visitor attractions. Event organisers can contact the venue to discuss availability, suitable spaces and the requirements of their planned event.
