After six years of redevelopment and with a top secret fall schedule, White Eagle Hall is set to be the coolest place in town.

‘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.

TEDx, the localized spinoff of the popular TED talks, will be returning to Jersey City this December for its fourth year.

Weekend Walks is our weekend column where we explore the photographic beauty of various neighborhoods through the lenses of history, architecture and commerce. For this weekend’s walk, we took a stroll through Downtown Hoboken.

Mayor Steven M. Fulop announced the return of New Jersey’s premier Fourth of July concert and fireworks celebration, the Jersey City “Freedom & Fireworks Festival,” at Liberty State Park, with fireworks by nationally-acclaimed Grucci, live musical performances including headliner "Village People," amusement rides, food and refreshment vendors, and entertainment for all ages.

Gary Lichtenstein Editions presents a radical evening of art at the edge with painter Keith Kimmel tonight. The event is titled “The CO-Lab Experience,” a live interactive performance situated within an exhibition of the artist’s recent and retrospective works. In the CO-Lab Experience, Keith Kimmel will break thru the classic wall of separation between artist and spectator by inviting the public to actively participate in an evening of collaborative painting.

BikeJC has opened up registration for their 7th Annual Jersey City Ward Tour. The 15-mile tour takes riders on a police escorted, relaxed (10mph) ride through all Jersey City wards.

White Eagle Hall has hired a seasoned NYC talent buyer who has already secured a solid line-up this summer and fall, including New Found Glory.

The OMA/AEA team are set to design Jersey City’s largest arts & culture center in Journal Square.

Even short city escapes have worthy benefits—like returning with wider eyes and perhaps a souvenir in tow, or at least a little beach in your hair. Asbury Park, one of the closest shore points to Jersey City (clocking in at an hour away and skipping most shore Parkway traffic), has become an ideal destination for such a spell.
