La Festa Italiana

There are only two more days to enjoy the fabulousness of La Festa Italiana in downtown Jersey City. Today (8/15) and tomorrow (8/16).

La Festa Italiana in Jersey City began in 1902 as a street festival in honor of Our Lady of the Assumption (August 15) & St. Rocco (August 16), both days of which were venerated by thousands of parishioners at Holy Rosary Church in Historic Downtown Jersey City – Celebrating 130 Years as the First Italian Parish in the State of New Jersey!

Enjoy: live music, games, merchandise, raffles, and fabulous Italian food outside of Holy Rosary Church along 6th Street between Brunswick & Monmouth Streets.

Weekday Fishing @ Reservoir #3

categories: Jersey City Families, Jersey City Heights, Outdoor Fun!

A swan is the only thing hanging out at the Jersey City Reservoir Number 3 off of Summit Avenue on Saturday. The gate was locked and garbage filled the entrance, even though a sign was posted stating that every Saturday until October the reservoir is open from 10am to 6pm. September 15, 2007. PAMELA SUCHY / The Jersey Journal

Not only is Reservoir #3 by Pershing Field in the Heights open on the weekends for fishing, kayaking or just wandering around, it is now open on weekdays from 3-8pm. Fishing equipment and instruction are provided, and all ages are welcome. Enter at Jefferson Avenue.
