Stop by Club Barks (201 Marin Blvd.) on this gorgeous night from 6:30-8pm with your furry friend for an Ice Cream Social. Milk Sugar Love is providing ice cream for people and Frosty Pooch is supplying frozen treats for pups. Everyone will make new friends!
Enjoy,

The quarterly culmination of extraordinary Jersey City art and music is back! JC FRIDAYS, hosted by Art House Productions, is a city-wide full day of free events here in Chilltown.
Local businesses collaborate with artists in a celebration of culture. Events include art openings and exhibits, live music, film/video screenings and performances.
Below is a short list of happenings:
It’s that time of year where we welcome the most amazing annual flea market ever, that of Jersey City’s Riverview-Fisk Park. This year already boasts over 100 vendors (including me).
Free zumba? 10:15 am
Free yoga? 11am
Children’s activities? ?
Additionally, there will be live music from Payaso Triste, GMJ Groove, Crash Gordan & Debra Dynamite, Sea of Otters and the Martin Maretto Duo.

Stop, shop and roll anytime between 10am and 5pm. FB info.
Cheers,

There will be plenty of entertainment—live music, games, an obstacle course, food, a vendor’s marketplace, a dunk tank, bronco ride and plenty of guest speakers who are prominent on the battle for local and national recognition. Our ever-present Mayor Steve Fulop will also be making an appearance.
This year’s hosts are Hudson Pride Connections Center and Humanity Pride. PRIDE co-chairs Jonathan P. Lucas and Michael Billy are expecting the biggest turnout yet.

Kick off the weekend with “Live at The Lumberyard,” a free concert in the Heights starting at 7pm. The event really does take place in a lumberyard, located on Palisade near Griffith Street (close to Riverview Fisk Park). Originally scheduled earlier in the summer, the show was called off because it was raining bullets. Hopefully that won’t happen again tonight so we can all rock out. Yay Friday! Bands playing and their links below:
7pm | GMJ Groove
8pm | Sea of Otters
9pm | Twiddlin’ Thumbs
Enjoy the weekend,
