Convention Hall, located on the boardwalk and extending out over the beach, has a capacity of up to 3,600, depending upon the event. It features an impressive stage area and a spacious arena floor.

The historic Paramount Theatre is a showcase for music and performing arts. The seating capacity of this acoustically superior facility is approximately 1,600 persons. The Paramount has been described as simultaneously majestic and intimate.

Connecting the two buildings is a Grand Arcade, through which the famous Asbury Park boardwalk extends. Warren and Wetmore designed the architectural landmark in 1923. They also designed New York City's Grand Central Station. The buildings are included on the state and national registers of historic places.

The Paramount opened in spectacular fashion on July 11, 1930 with a show starring the Marx Brothers and Ginger Rogers. Convention Hall has continued over the years to host world famous entertainment. The prestigious list includes Frank Sinatra, Elton John, The Supremes, Paul Anka, Rolling Stones, Temptations, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, The Platters, Bon Jovi and many more. The hall has also hosted some of the nation's top modern music festivals including the Bamboozle, Skate & Surf and Taste of Chaos.

The Convention Hall and Paramount Theatre will carry on our tradition of fine music and entertainment exhibits, and sporting events. We invite all to "Come and Make History Again" at the legendary Asbury Park Convention Hall and Paramount Theatre.
