Bringing people, places and events to life
From now until Monday night, join in on the fun that is La Festa Italiana, Jersey City’s Italian Street Festival.
Each evening from 5-11pm on Sixth St. between Brunswick and Monmouth, celebrate the 110th year of the festival with tons of street-fair food (rice balls, zeppole, sausages, shish kabobs, corn on the cob, homemade desserts), live entertainment, children’s activities and adult beverages provided by White Star Bar.
Weather permitting, Newport Green (Washington Blvd. & 14th St.) is hosting a screening of animated zombie flick ParaNorman (made by the creators of Coraline) at sunset. Arrive by 7:30 to grab your free popcorn and find a good viewing spot on the lawn.
Watch Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit under the stars and above (and, yes, overlooking) Manhattan tonight. Riverview-Fisk Park plays playground to this screening.
The movie starts at sundown…which by my guesstimate means it’s best to set up your blankets and chairs circa 7:30pm. That will give you enough time to grab your free popcorn and Lizzmonade lemonade (yes, it’s all free) and get comfortably cozy in time for the viewing.
The Washington Park Association (WPA), Riverview Neighborhood Association and Pershing Field Garden Friends organized this night (and the upcoming Jersey City movies in the park series) with Hudson County Parks and the Board of Chosen Freeholders.

Enjoy,
