Friday nights are about to get a lot more fun in Atlantic City. 

Harrah’s Resort has announced that Bayside Rock Live, a new entertainment experience, is coming to Atlantic City’s Marina District. 

Harrah’s bills the series —  which runs every Friday from Aug. 28 to Oct. 23 — as an opportunity for guests to enjoy “beats, bands and brews.” 

Bayside Rock Live will feature performances from contemporary DJs and ’70s and ’80s tribute bands at Harrah’s Waterfront Conference Center parking complex.

Tickets, which are $44.50 for two people, will include a socially distanced parking spot with seating. According to Harrah’s, “attendees will have the opportunity to purchase popcorn and beverage items to be enjoyed in their spots.”
