Festivals & Events
To local residents and visitors, a festival is a fun way to spend a day celebrating their community with family and friends. But for the CASID and its members, festivals and other events present a unique opportunity to showcase the rich cultural and economic life of the Heights' main street. The traffic and parking disruptions involved in a festival do make it necessary for businesses to change the way that they operate for one day, but the long-term benefits are clear. By bringing thousands - even tens of thousands - of people to Central Avenue for a festival, the CASID offers businesses the chance to put their best face forward and bring those same people back as regular customers throughout the year.
If you are interested in obtaining exhibitor space or volunteering at an event organized by the CASID, please email your contact information to casid@jcheights.com to be put on our mailing list.
Businesses and organizations who become sponsors of CASID events enjoy a wide range of promotional benefits in conjunction with the events' marketing campaigns. If you or your business or organization is interested in becoming a sponsor, please contact the CASID at (201) 656-1366 or casid@jcheights.com.
Everything Jersey City Festival - 2008
By all accounts, the first annual Everything Jersey City Festival was a great success! Over 12,000 neighbors gathered on Central Avenue on a beautiful Saturday in May 2008 to enjoy the celebration, which featured three stages of entertainment, rides and activities for the kids, and much, much more. Check back for a slideshow of 2008 photos and news about the second annual festival in May 2009!
