Hoboken anuncia la fila para la feria de River City

The City of Hoboken has announced the musical lineup for the return of the River City Fair, a free, family-friendly celebration along Hoboken’s waterfront on Saturday, September 26.

The fair will take place from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. along Sinatra Drive from Newark Street to Fifth Street and will feature two stages of live performances, river education programs, a dedicated Food Alley, and local Hoboken and Hudson County artists, crafters, makers, and other vendors.

The 2026 River City Fair revives a waterfront tradition first held in the 1970s by local advocates who worked to transform Hoboken’s working waterfront into a destination for public access and recreation.

“River City Fair is about bringing our community together and celebrating our people, our waterfront, and our incredible artists, musicians, businesses, and community organizations,” said Mayor Emily Jabbor.  “The fair gives residents and visitors of all ages a chance to enjoy the waterfront and learn about the Hudson River while supporting our local businesses and artists. I hope you will join us as we bring back this Hoboken tradition and create lifelong memories for a new generation of residents.”

Festival goers will also have opportunities to learn more about the Hudson River, its wildlife and ecology, and the importance of protecting the waterfront for future generations in partnership with the Hoboken Green Team, local nonprofits, and businesses.

Residents and visitors will also be able to enjoy a Food Alley on Sinatra Drive from First Street to Second Street creating a dedicated destination for grabbing lunch and snacks while taking in the music and waterfront views.

Sinatra Park will serve as the fair’s youth stage. Performances on the Sinatra Youth Stage will be as follows:

Pier A will also feature activities for children including bounce houses and a guest appearance by Dinosaurs Arise from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
