Atlantic City, N.J. (April 28, 2023) – The City of Atlantic City Solicitor’s Office sent a letter, this morning to the attorney of the organizer of the Bamboozle Festival, notifying them that the city will not be issuing the final permit to allow the festival to proceed after organizers failed to submit required documents by the city’s deadline.

Below is a statement from City of Atlantic City Business Administrator Anthony Swan on the event’s cancelation:

“There was an ongoing concern that we were not getting the required documents from festival organizers promptly. We asked for this information months in advance to protect the city and the taxpayers of Atlantic City. The event was fast approaching, and these issues were still unresolved. Therefore, my office established a reasonable deadline for festival organizers to submit the required documents to the city. On April 20, 2023, our Solicitor’s Office sent a letter to the attorney for the festival organizer, informing him of the established deadline of the close of business on April 27, 2023 to submit the documentation. The attorney acknowledged receipt of the notice letter. The city did not receive a written request for an extension or any other written notification that the required documentation could not be provided. The April 27th deadline passed, and the attorney for the festival organizers has been notified that the event is canceled consistent with our prior notice.”
