AC Mike’s Weekend Insider – Your Guide to What’s Happening in Atlantic City
Hey family — AC Mike here!
Hope you’re feeling blessed, energized, and ready to dive into another weekend in the greatest beach town in America. 🎰🌊
Every week, I round up the good stuff — the events, the vibes, and the little moments that make Atlantic City ours. Whether you’re looking for a night out, something classy, something crazy, or something heartwarming… this city always delivers.
Here’s what’s happening this weekend — and trust me, it’s a loaded one.
🎄 HOLIDAY SPIRIT, AC-STYLE
🎅 Atlantic City SantaCon 2025
Saturday • 4:00 PM
Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall
FREE
This one always cracks me up — hundreds of Santas stumbling down Tennessee Ave spreading “holiday cheer” that may or may not involve shots. If you see me down there, I’ll be the Santa with the AC Mike pin on the hat. Come say hi!
👉 Perfect for: Fun crews, holiday lovers, and anyone who owns an ugly sweater and questionable self-control.
🎤 THE CLASSIC CROONER RETURNS

🙏 A Message from AC Mike
This season is all about community — sharing moments, creating memories, and showing love for the place we call home.
Atlantic City isn’t just casinos and bright lights.
It’s the stories, the families, the generations, the culture — and YOU are a part of that story.
Thank you for being here with me each week.
If you head out to any of these events, tag me or send a pic — I love seeing your adventures!
Stay blessed, stay safe, and as always…
I’ll see ya around town!
