The Bayonne Bergen Point Fall Festival, sponsored by The Bayonne Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ), is returning in 2023 and promises to be better than ever. Scheduled for Saturday, October 21st, the festival will take place on Broadway in Historic Bergen Point Village, spanning from Cottage Street to 5th Street, from noon to 6 p.m. The event serves as a platform to highlight and support businesses in Bergen Point while bringing joy to attendees.
This family-friendly event will offer a plethora of entertainment, including live music, local food and beverages, and an impressive lineup of over 50 registered vendors. Children can enjoy inflatable rides, face painting, balloon sculptures, crafts, and more.
For pet lovers, there’s an exciting Dog Costume Contest where furry friends can strut their stuff on the main stage.
