2 Farmer's Markets In Hoboken Area To Reopen Next 2 Saturdays
HOBOKEN, NJ — Two area farmer's markets will open over the next two weekends.
Hoboken 5th Ward Councilman Phil Cohen announced in his newsletter last week that the Uptown Farmers Market will reopen on Saturday, May 7, after a four-month break. It'll be located under the 14th Street Viaduct, like last year.
"It's almost farmer's market season!" Cohen said. "It’s been a long, cold winter (and early spring), so I can't wait to visit our friends at the Uptown Farmers Market under the viaduct."
The hours will be 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. like last year, he noted.
The city's other farmers' markets haven't announced their return yet. Hoboken at one time had four farmer's markets running weekly, but COVID reduced that number.
Meanwhile, the Riverview Farmer's Market, just up the hill in Jersey City Heights, will reopen this Saturday, May 1. Opening day will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and there will be music, crafts for kids, yoga, and more.
The market takes place Saturdays in the park (with playground) overlooking the west side of Hoboken. It's a walk of a few blocks from the 9th Street Light Rail elevator.
"Come out and enjoy our full lineup of vendors, live music, yoga in the park, kids arts and crafts, entertainment, and more!" wrote the organizers.
Music Lineup:
10-11 a.m. Rockassori
11:30-12:30 p.m. Zydeco Revelators
1-2 p.m. Christine Santelli
Activities:
All day kids arts & crafts (while supplies last)
10-11 a.m. Yoga in the Park with Meraki Yogini
10:30-11:30 The Bubble Man
12:30-1:30 Juggler
