The North to Shore Festival returns in June 2026, launching the Garden State summer with an exciting celebration of arts, entertainment, culture, and innovation across three iconic New Jersey cities.

Spanning Atlantic City, Asbury Park, and Newark,  North to Shore Festival showcases the energy and creativity that define New Jersey through music, film, comedy, technology, visual arts, history, and more.

Produced by the New Jersey Performing Arts Center and launched in 2023, the festival has become a signature statewide event bringing together performances, conversations, parties, and cultural experiences across more than 100 venues.

Running June 13–28, 2026, this year’s festival lineup features artists including The Black Crowes, Janelle Monáe, and Primus.

Conceived by Phil Murphy and Tammy Murphy, North to Shore was created to spotlight New Jersey as a destination for arts and entertainment while supporting bold ideas and emerging talent.
