Bringing people, places and events to life
Today is the 4th annual Hamilton Park BBQ Festival from noon to 8pm.
Besides a ton of food, there will be live music from country rock bands all afternoon, crafts, games, free yoga (children’s session at 3pm; adult session at 4pm) and free massages. No entry fee; pay as you eat.
The New York Red Bulls are teaching a soccer clinic for children ages 7 and up tomorrow, Wednesday September 25th at Newport Green (700 Washington Blvd.) in Jersey City from 5:30-7pm.
Take advantage of the opportunity for your kids to improve their soccer skills while training with the players of the New York Red Bulls (my personal favorite “American football” team)—for free!
There will be a meet-and-greet following the session to give everyone the chance to talk to the stars, take photos, get autographs and win great raffle prizes.
Get your game on,

Jersey City hosts its 20th annual half-marathon today, and this year, the race boasts over 3000 runners.
Go cheer on your fellow citizens (starting at 8:30am) from Newport’s waterfront to Liberty State Park as they raise money for Jersey City Medical Center.
Happy Sunday,
JCG

Friday, September 20th is PARK(ing) Day in Jersey City. The annual event (also global) is when citizens, artists and activists collaborate to temporarily transform metered parking spaces into “PARK(ing)” spaces, a.k.a. temporary public spaces. Ours takes place at the Grove Street PATH Plaza from 5-9pm.
Bike repair demonstrations will be provided by Bike JC. There will also be a special 3rd Friday Ride, which will depart circa 6:50pm and last approximately an hour at a relaxed pace. Don’t forget your helmet!!! and, of course, your lights—because it will get dark.
