Wedding of the Sea Festival 2020

The Wedding of the Sea Festival is the Parish of Saint Monica's signature annual event!

The Wedding of the Sea tradition symbolizes the maritime power’s vital relationship to the sea. The tradition came to Atlantic City through St. Michael’s Church, an historically Italian parish, but was celebrated on a different feast, the Assumption of Mary. Whether the destination is the beach, the Boardwalk, or the casinos, the great appeal of Atlantic City is the Atlantic Ocean. The Wedding of the Sea Festival celebrates the relationship of the city and the sea and asks God to grant success to the work of so many to build up our great city.

The Wedding of the Sea Festival features restaurant and bakery vendors, a beer garden, adult and kids games, raffles, face painting, and live music.

Mass for the Feast of the Assumption is celebrated at Boardwalk Hall at 12:00 PM. The wreath toss, procession of the Blessed Mother, and Benediction follow on the Boardwalk. There are free shuttles looping from the Boardwalk to the Festival for one hour after the mass.
