Hoboken Arts And Music Festival, Train Festival Both Happening Sunday: Band Lineup Below

HOBOKEN, NJ — Are you a music nerd, and art fan, or a train buff? You can explore all three interests this Sunday when the Hoboken Arts and Music Festival kicks off on the main drag, just a few blocks from a celebration of transit history at the train station.

Arts And Music Festival

Hoboken's twice-yearly Arts and Music Festival will take place Sunday on lower Washington Street from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Besides enjoying 300 vendors on seven blocks of Hoboken next month, you can see concerts all day on two stages.

Local favorites the Feelies will headline on the Observer Highway Stage at 4:45 p.m.

The Feelies will release their seventh album and first ever live album, Some Kinda Love, on Oct. 13 through Hoboken’s well known Bar/None Records.

Earlier in the day, acts including the Bongos and the Karyn Kuhl Gang will perform.

See the complete music lineup for the day below.

Railroad History Celebration

Meanwhile, as part of NJ TRANSIT’s 40th anniversary of rail operations, the public is invited to the Hoboken Terminal to view some of the agency’s iconic heritage locomotives and celebrate the state's railroad history. The event is free and will be open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. near Track 17.

The agency said, "Take a stroll down memory lane with locomotives decked out in historical liveries of predecessor railroads. A recruiting table will also be available to those interested in joining NJ TRANSIT’s ranks."
