Big Hoboken Events Announced: Dates For Festival, Concerts, More

HOBOKEN, NJ — Now that summer began last Tuesday and school's finally out, Hoboken residents are planning their summer fun.

The dates for residents to use the high school pool (and Weehawken pool too?) have not yet been announced by the Recreation Department — Patch asked the city again and is awaiting a response — but some upcoming events have been set by the Department of Cultural Affairs.

Always double check before heading over, particularly with possible weather cancellations.

Here are the tentative dates for events this summer and fall:

• The Fleetwood Mac Engagement: This year's installment of ALEOproductions' annual tributes to rock acts will take place at Sinatra Park on June 30.

• Hoboken Sings, a night of karaoke co-presented with the Hoboken Historical Museum, will take place July 12 and 28, according to a city calendar of events.

• The annual Spaghetti Block Party Dinner, in which individuals and families may sign up to enjoy dinner, salad, and dessert at long tables on the waterfront, takes place Aug. 30 from 5-8 p.m. Signups will be announced in the future.

• The Fall Arts & Music Festival tentatively takes place Sunday, Oct. 2, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Meanwhile, the 112th St. Ann's Italian Festival, not an event run by the city, takes place in late July. Find out more here.

And what about July 4 activities? Hoboken usually defers to its neighbors. This year, Jersey City is hosting a day of events, including a concert by Flo Rida and at night, Grucci fireworks on the Hudson. The Meadowlands Fair and Secaucus pool will also launch fireworks; get the full lineup of July 4 events and fireworks in the Hoboken area here, including cruises.
