Plenty of summer is left to spend a lovely evening watching a movie at a Jersey City park! A lot is happening in Jersey City this summer. Here are some other activities your family and friends can enjoy. And here are some ways you can beat the heat on a summer day. As fall approaches and schools reopen, there will be fewer opportunities to spend time outdoors. While going to restaurants, cafes, museums, zoos, galleries, libraries, etc. can be year-round, the opportunities to visit farms, waterparks, safaris, summer hiking trails, camping, etc. get limited.

Please be advised that Movies in the Park events in our town are organized by independent event organizers.
