Now doesn’t that look cool? It’s enough to get mom and dad excited to.

Ready to come see the show?

Here’s what you need to know about Duality

• The sound and light show will premiere Wednesday, July 4, shortly after the fireworks show around 9:30 p.m.

• The FREE show will run twice per hour, and lasts for about 8 ½ minutes. It is best seen from Kennedy Plaza on the boardwalk.

• The light show will give your kids a little lesson in history and architecture as the show takes advantage of Boardwalk Hall’s architecture to create a visually stunning performance that uses the history of Atlantic City to pay tribute to the city.

• Duality will be a permanent show but music, theme, and lightning colors will change throughout the year. I am already excited thinking about what it will look and sound like during the holidays.

• Fun Facts for the kids about the Duality Show
  • Twelve  20,000 lumen video projectors are installed on the façade of Boardwalk Hall.
  • Installation took two weeks and 14 specialized technicians to put in place.
  • The creation of the show took three months and over 35 team members.

Here are some tips and suggestions for a fun 4th:

- Atlantic City is super busy during Fourth of July Weekend.  Be ready for traffic congestion and tons of people.

-Take a jacket, it gets chilly at night especially near the water.

-Pop by a Dollar Store of a 5 Below and purchase your own glow necklaces, bracelets, and glow sticks for about 1/3 of what you’ll pay on the boardwalk. Make the kids and your wallet happy.

- If you’re already staying in AC, great!  If not get into the city early.

- There are plenty of attractions to occupy your time if you come into the city early.

-If your attending the boardwalk show, you can always bring your beach chair and blankets and grab a spot on the sand.

-AC cruises hosts a fireworks boat tour that is 30.00 per person and you’ll enjoy the best views in town. DJ and cash bar on board.  Limited to 75 tickets
