Though we might not have a front row seat to the Macy’s fireworks this year (icymi, the display is moving back to the East River), Hoboken is not without a 4th of July celebration. This year, Hoboken-based hospitality group The Light Group is hosting a free 4th of July party at Pier A, complete with live music, vendors, and more family-friendly fun. Read on to learn more about the event and the group behind the magic.
Celebrate 4th of July with The Light Group
On July 4th, The Light Group is hosting a family-friendly celebration for the Hoboken community. Starting at noon, the free event will take over Pier A Park, located at 100 Sinatra Drive in Hoboken. It’s totally free to attend and runs from 12PM to 11PM. There will be unobstructed views of both the Macy’s and Jersey City fireworks.
The day will be full of fun for all ages, with live music from local performers such as Benjamins, Austin City Nights, Sean Patrick, The Alibis, The Original Copy. There will also be an array of vendors for a street fair-style experience and a designated biergarten area (sponsored by Texas Arizona and The Waiting Room) for adults to enjoy beer, cocktails, and light snacks. Food trucks will be selling hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders, funnel cakes, nachos, and more.
This event is part of a larger “Hop on Over to Hoboken” tourism promotion to spotlight the city as a dynamic waterfront destination and its attractions. The upcoming initiative has the support of the City of Hoboken and Mayor Bhalla, and will be followed by activations throughout the year — including a series of national bar star pop-ups at The Waiting Room in Downtown Hoboken.
