48 Blocks Festival

The Noyes will take part in the ACAF’s 48 Blocks festival with two activations:

  • Experience Flagship, by New Jersey Monument to Migration & Labor artist Immanuel Oni. Inspired by a year’s worth of conversations and programs with community stakeholders in Millville, Bridgeton, Seabrook, Port Norris, Roebling, and Atlantic City, Flagship is a mobile monument that brings to life the stories of labor and migration that define South Jersey’s past and present. 

  • Cyanokites workshop: Noyes staff will hold a cyanotype and kite-making activity from 12-3PM, or until supplies last!

48 Blocks is a program of the Atlantic City Arts Foundation, dedicated to bringing public art to every Atlantic City neighborhood, made possible by our networks of artists, volunteers, donors, and community partners. It includes the 48 Blocks Festival and Atlantic City’s largest mural arts program.

48 Blocks Festival

One day. One place. A full-tilt celebration of Atlantic City’s creative spirit—featuring art, live performances, and stories from all 48 blocks 🦜

September 19, 2026, 12–8 pm in Uptown & Fisherman’s Parks

48 Blocks Festival is a fully-loaded festival, complete with two stages of local live music, theater, and poetry, a full schedule of art activities and demonstrations, a marketplace of exhibiting artists and vendors, community resources, food vendors, and most importantly, you.

This festival is dedicated to the diverse and unique; to the beautiful and strange; the beloved and misunderstood: to the artist in us all. 

Evolving from a citywide public arts initiative, 48 Blocks Festival is a culmination of Atlantic City’s creative energy presented as a free day-long celebration of art, culture, and community, where everyone is invited and participation is encouraged.
