Mayor Dawn Zimmer and the City of Hoboken will present a new St. Patrick’s celebratory tradition, the Hoboken Irish Festival, scheduled for Wednesday, March 13th, 3:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. in Sinatra Park, 4th Street & Sinatra Drive, Hoboken, New Jersey.
Admission to the Festival is free. It will feature live performances by The Prodigals, Gold n’Brown, Will O’Conner, Colin Nisbet, the Jersey City Firefighters Pipe Band, and much more. There will also be activities for the entire family: step dancing, face painting, crafts, and a demo by the Hoboken Hurling Club.
Acclaimed Hoboken chef Anthony Pino and the Anthony David’s team will make festival-goers’ dining choices extra special this year. Chef Pino’s On the Flipside burger shack will be present with its sizzling grills. The burger stand was a hit at the uptown Hoboken Family Farmers’ Market, and will bring a first taste of warm weather to the Fest. Anthony David’s is also thrilled to be offering an eternal Irish classic at the Fish n’ Chips station. And, in the spirit of the holiday, Chef Pino’s wine bar, Bin 14, will be wheeling in the beers: a beer trailer will serve Guinness, Harp and Smithwick’s.
“As longtime Hoboken residents and businesspeople, we are really excited to be contributing our efforts to this fun, family event,” commented Chef Pino. “We will be sharing a portion of our proceeds with the Rebuild Hoboken Relief Fund, because it’s important to remember that some of our neighbors are still feeling the effects of Sandy, and they need our help.”
