It’s FAQ Friday! 💬❓

The River City Fair 🎶🌊 is coming back to Hoboken, but… what exactly is the River City Fair? And what happened to the fall Arts & Music Festival? 🤔

Cristin Cricco, head of Hoboken’s Cultural Affairs, is taking us back to the 1970s, when Hoboken residents fought to protect our waterfront and make sure it remained accessible to the public. The River City Fair helped bring our community to the river, with music, vendors, environmental activities, and more. Now, decades later, we’re bringing that energy back! 💙

📅 Saturday, Sept. 26
⏰ 12 PM – 5 PM
📍 Hoboken Waterfront, Pier A to Sinatra Amphitheater
🎟️ FREE and open to everyone!
🎶 Live local & national music
🍻 Beer garden
🦖 Dinosaurs Arise
🎈 Bounce houses & kids activities
🌊 Hudson River ecology & environmental education
🛍️ Local vendors + more!

It’s a celebration of Hoboken’s past, present, and the waterfront generations of residents fought to protect. 🌊💙
