Ah, the weekend {please cue a huge sigh of relief}. We kicked off the week with some “serious” snow and are finally ending it with just enough sunshine to remind us that it is, in fact, March {and that winter is, hopefully, on its way out}. Of course, some of the best ways to enjoy the weekend are by getting out and about – from catching a live music performance or volunteering your time to those in need, there are tons of fun + interesting ways to enjoy yourself. Here are 24 events happening in Hoboken + Jersey City this weekend {March 7th-March 10th, 2019}:
