About Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall

Opened in 1929 on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, this arena hosts concerts, comedy, ice shows and sports under a barrel vault ceiling 137 feet high with no supporting columns. It held the Miss America Pageant from 1940 until 2004 and the 1964 Democratic National Convention. Inside is the Midmer-Losh pipe organ, with more than 33,000 pipes. Tours by the organ restoration committee walk through two organ chambers and get you close to the seven-manual console.
