The street fair includes vendors of all kinds, from jewelry and candles to food and live music throughout the day.
JERSEY CITY, NJ — Jersey City's beloved 'All About Downtown Festival' is back for 2021 after the COVID-19 pandemic put the street fair on a brief hiatus.
Hosted by the Historic Downtown Special Improvement District, the festival is slated to return on from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sept. 18. The festival fills Newark Avenue, from Grove Street to Coles Street, with an array of vendors, from food and drinks to jewelry and handmade goods.
The Fair also has kids rides and face painting, beer gardens, and live music throughout the day. This marks the ten-year anniversary of the festival — organizers are expecting about 150 vendors. Applications for vendors were released along with the festival announcement on May 10. There are about 20 spots left for vendors to sign up.
