Atlantic City's own Tina Notaro joins The High Note Podcast to talk about her remarkable journey as an event creator, community builder, and the beating heart of Atlantic City's arts and nightlife scene.

We dig into her work with Noetrope — the movement she built around creating noetic experiences — the legendary Beach Rave at Crystals beach, the New Moon Night Market at Anchor Rock Club, and her role as Program Manager at the Atlantic City Arts Foundation.

Tina also shares how she became an officially licensed clown in Atlantic City, how she got the permit that brought Making Waves to the beach, and what's coming up in 2026 — including Night Market dates, Dance Alarm, and the 48 Blocks Festival.

Upcoming Noetrope Events:

• Night Market (free before 8 PM / $15 after) — May 15, August 21, November 28 @ Anchor Rock Club
• Dance Alarm — July 31 @ Anchor Rock Club
• No Trope's Haunted Mansion — October 30 @ Anchor Rock Club
• 48 Blocks Festival — September 19 (Free, Uptown Park & Fisherman's Park, Atlantic City)
