(ATLANTIC CITY, NJ) -- The 17th annual Elephant Talk Indie Music Festival will take place at Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall in Atlantic City from April 17-19, 2026. The festival features performances from over 70 acts.
The annual festival was founded by Jerry Ryan as a fundraiser inspired by his own autistic son, Jeremy.
Admission is $15 per day admission or $30 for a weekend pass. The festival is open to all ages. There is a free parking lot across the street from venue.
All proceeds at the event (after expenses paid out for production costs) will help fund the third annual Tom maillie inclusive bowling tournament at king pin lanes on August 2nd, 2026.
Located at 133 South Tennessee Avenue in Atlantic City, Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall is where friends, family, and flavor collide – right in the heart of Atlantic City, just steps from the world-famous boardwalk and beach. You’ll find 40 craft beers on draft and over 60 more in bottles and cans, but don’t let the name fool you – they're not just a beer hall. They’re the beer hall. As for theircocktail game, think modern, bold, and dangerously crushable.
