JCFamilies Summer & Spring events in Jersey City & Hoboken
Spring, with all the fresh greenery and flowers bursting everywhere, inspires people to spend more time outdoors. After the winter months, it is wonderful to stroll outside in the sunny warmth. Children and pets love it when they can run and play outside. Parks, gardens, and walking trails become favorite weekend spots for families. The longer days and pleasant weather are perfect for picnics, outdoor activities, exploring nature, and attending local events. The JCFamilies events for families in Jersey City & Hoboken give families the opportunity to connect with other families.
As spring leads to the summer days, the fun and fervor increase, since now you can head to water parks, sprinklers, kayaking, hiking, and evenings can be spent on the waterfront, in restaurants with outdoor seating, and rooftop bars. The opportunity to have fun and make the most of the sun and warmth is endless, whether you prefer to head to farms or to the city for a weekend out. To add to these, we have some amazing local events coming up over the next few months and will keep the whole family engaged 0 from the toddler to the grandparent.
