‘Tis that time of year again! With the holiday season in full swing, there are many events and activities planned all around Jersey City. Here's a list of events going on from now until the New Year.

The hulking, four-building industrial complex at 154 Avenue E was converted into the SilkLofts rental complex in 2014.

Last night, a homecoming of sorts was held to commemorate the building's history.

A gold painted shipping container has landed in the middle of Military Park in Downtown Newark. Dubbed a 'portal' the container is part of a global art initiative by Shared Studios.

As Bergen-Lafayette grows in popularity, so does its amenities. New cultural and community focused activities are popping up all around the neighborhood. These 5 provide good reasons to get out and explore the area.
