Hoboken Cultural Affairs is a division of The City of Hoboken. We curate and produce cultural events for the City of Hoboken, including the Arts and Music Festival, Art Month, The Harvest Festival, Movies Under the Stars, our Summer Concert Series, and community art and culture programs.
We also administer the Public Art Fund, which maintains Hoboken's existing public art inventory as well as supports new permanent public art.
The Fall Arts and Music Festival will be held on September 28th, with a rain date of October 5th. Vendor registration is now closed, as booth spaces are sold out. The annual fall festival attracts over 30,000 visitors and showcases the City’s vibrant cultural scene featuring live musical performances on two stages, a variety of eateries, and over 300 vendors.
