Food, Fun And Music In Atlantic City

By Martin Rolee


Bader Field finally bears a festive look following many years of neglect as the Dave Matthews Band Caravan members swing into action here in Atlantic City. Local people are delighted to see the defunct airport receiving a complete makeover to make space for the big event which will last 3 days here before moving on to other locations. This place was unused for decades until now and it had evolved into an illegal dump of sorts over the period, based on a report on the Press of Atlantic City website.

Sprucing Up the Site

Plenty of work went into getting Bader Field ready for the band but it really has been definitely worth it. The bulk of the work was accomplished by the Public Works Department here. As early as February of this year when the function was approved, laborers commenced cleaning up more than 300 tons of waste that had piled up here. After weeding the site, eliminating the damaged barbed wire fencing and also cutting back the overgrown shrubbery, the Department has truly improved the once unpleasant Braden Fields into a level open ground that's ideal for holding these types of activities. The ground was regraded and landscaped too in a bid to create a favorable impression of Atlantic City', according to the article.

About the Dave Matthews Band

Authorities hope that the Dave Matthews Band Caravan can give the site some much needed positive publicity and that this helps Atlantic City tourism as well. Looking at the massive Ferris wheel, the tents installed for shops and beer tasting counters, it is clear that no effort is being spared to bring in people to the event. The band is making its first stop of four here in Braden field and the kind of reception it gets here is very critical to the entertainers. According to Starr Hill, the promoters of the show, about 2000 individuals will be involved in the event when it actually takes off this week. Three dozen artists will be performing on 3 separate stages set up here by the promoter. Food, fun and music- it will all be there for locals and visitors to enjoy at the Braden Field once the Band Caravan event starts. If you're planning a trip, then this will be the perfect timing for a holiday to Atlantic City.

A Site for Future Events

The Public Works department is wanting to present the Braden Fields location as a suitable place for possible future events too. This will likely draw more tourist awareness to Atlantic City, they hope. They have already achieved some degree of success in repurposing Sandcastle Stadium and finalizing the Atlantic City Summerfest here on July 2nd.

Planning your Vacation

The Dave Matthews Band Caravan is likely to draw a lot of crowds which means that you have to book your rooms in Atlantic City early in order to join in the event. Check in at the Atlantic Palace, a bluegreen resort situated in the heart of the city right on the Boardwalk on New York Avenue. Staying at this resort keeps you within reach of all of the city's hotspots plus you enjoy the matchless hospitality and luxury that only a Bluegreen resort can give you.
