TidalWave Music Festival

The TidalWave Music Festival is a country music festival held beachfront in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in August.

Background

The festival is held on the sand on the Atlantic City beach next to the boardwalk and attendees are allowed to bring a low-profile beach chair. Unlike many New Jersey beaches which require a fee to enter, the beach at Atlantic City is free to swim and sunbathe and is guarded by lifeguards in the summer. During the festival, attendees are permitted to swim in the ocean inside the festival area while lifeguards are on duty during daylight hours, according to the festival's website.
