MOVIN’ ON UP: Hoboken Arts & Music Festival Shifts Uptown this Spring — SUNDAY, JUNE 11th

The Hoboken Arts & Music Festival will take place this Sunday, June 11, 2017 from 11:00am to 6:00pm.

However, due to construction along Washington Street, this year’s festival will be held further uptown—from 8th Street to 14th Street (typically the festival is held from Observer Highway to 7th Street).

Admission is free.

***IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS***

Residents in the area are advised that vehicles parked along upper Washington Street and some side streets will need to be moved by 5:00am on the morning of the event in order to allow sufficient time for event setup. Vehicles that are not moved will be towed.

For public safety and health reasons, the City of Hoboken and the Hoboken Police Department are asking all businesses and residents between 800 and 1340 Washington Street to remove their trash and recycling bins from the front of their property this Sunday, June 11th.

The festival features artists, crafters, photographers, food vendors, live music, and more. The event will include two stages of live music at 8th Street and 14th Street including a Tribute to Prince performance by Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Chamber at 4:30pm and Frankie Morales & the Mambo of the Times Orchestra at 5:00pm. The full performance schedule is below.
