On Friday, November 14, 2025, the City of Atlantic City’s Department of Senior Services held our 1st Mr. & Ms. Atlantic City Senior Services Pageant at the All Wars Memorial Building. The event, attended by a whole crowd of family, friends, and supporters, celebrated the energy, pride, and talent of Atlantic City’s senior community.
