JERSEY CITY, NJ — July 4th festivities are not all saved for the night-time fireworks show in Jersey City — residents will have the opportunity to celebrate all day with the Jersey City 4th of July Fireworks Food Festival.

Jersey City is partnering with the Jersey City Night Market to bring the entertainment to the waterfront leading to the fireworks show by Grucci. The Jersey City Night Market will be organizing a day filled with local food vendors, artisanal shopping, a 21+ beigarten, and a music line-up of DJ’s curated by DJ Luv of Jersey City’s Chilltown Collective.

This year's celebration will be focused on reviving food businesses, supporting local, and the relaunch of in-person events. Last year's fireworks show was canceled due to COVID-19 precautions.
