ATLANTIC CITY – DylanFestAC, the celebration of all things Bob Dylan and his connection to the Jersey Shore, returns to Mississippi Avenue with a street fair, art show and live-music concert Saturday, Aug. 25.

The festival will open with a free street fair from 3-6 p.m. at the Noyes Arts Garage and outside Dante Hall.

The fourth annual Dylan Fest AC concert, presented by Formica Bros.

Other artists featured at the concert include Just Like the Women and the 5 Believers.

The festival will also feature Dylan memorabilia and artwork by the festival’s organizer, Jeff Schwachter, as well as artwork by area artists at the Noyes Arts Garage.

“Each year we’ve had special guests and people coming from all over the region just to give a nod to Bob. It gains more steam each year,” Schwachter said.
