SHAKE THEM BONES: The Ghost of Uncle Joe’s Show Brings Harsimus Cemetery to Life With a Full Day of Live Music—SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20

Loud enough to wake the dead? No, but it seems like the kind of day that makes you glad to be alive…

This Saturday, October 20 is the Ghost of Uncle Joe’s Show—an annual fundraiser for the Historic Jersey City & Harsimus Cemetery, a historical site in Jersey City that is now maintained by a volunteer Board of Trustees, a hard-working group of volunteers, and a supportive Community who are committed to the restoration of the historic cemetery grounds, caretaker house, and historic monuments.

The show itself features an A-List of area musical luminaries, all lending their talents to this phenomenal all-day event, featuring LIVE MUSIC, food, beer, costume prizes and more…
