It’s summer events like these that make Hoboken a great city to live in.

Summer in Hoboken is my favorite time of the year. It’s that time where more residents are outside enjoying the outdoor restaurant and bar settings, children are playing in the parks and most of all, the city offers tons of free outdoor cultural and recreational events. From outdoor movies and theatrical performance to family fun nights and a Sinatra impersonation contest, Hoboken residents will have a great variety of local activities to keep them entertained.
