March-August is a good time to travel to Atlantic City. The temperatures are warmer, presenting a good time to enjoy the beach and water. There are also several cultural, music, and food festivals that occur in these months, such as the Tidal Wave Music Festival, Downbeach Seafood Festival, and the Atlantic City Latino Festival. June-August is peak season due to school being out and families taking their vacations so crowds can be thick. Fall (September-November) bring cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and less crowds. While the Winter months can be quite cold, with very little beach activity, they also bring more savings and deals towards travel, especially within the casinos, which are open year-round.
