JC Land o f the Freeform arts and music festival

First annual "Jersey City- Land of the Freeform Arts and Music Festival" is a celebration of the artistic community in the area. It represents the cultural diversity and creativity that thrives locally. The sponsor, Peace by Piece Studio, is a local organization who is giving back to the community through various events such as this. The area the festival is taking place was designated as the Riverview Arts District, but was never codified in the zoning department. This festival will bring light to the...

city and neighborhood that many talented artists and musicians live and support this area.

From noon to 2 pm there will be a bluegrass jam. Feel free to bring your own acoustic instruments to join in on the jam.
