Hoboken has announced its line-up for summer fun. The yearly temporal traditions of summer concerts at Sinatra Park, family fun nights at Shipyard Park and Movies Under the Stars at Pier A Park are back. The schedule can be downloaded here.
Paramount Pictures is re-releasing the 1978 musical “Grease” as a sing-along and has selected Hoboken as one of the cities to premiere it. Fans are invited to dress up as their favorite character and “strut their stuff,” Cultural Affairs Director Geri Fallo said.
Other films to be screened are “Avatar,” “Up in the Air,” “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” “Date Night,” and “Edward Scissorhands.”
The opening night concert on June 3 at Sinatra Park is a tribute to folk singer Pete Seeger and will feature 200 children and local musicians.
From June through August, the concerts will take place most Thursday nights from 7 to 9 p.m. Family Fun Nights are scheduled from 7 to 8 p.m. every Tuesday. Movies Under the Stars are scheduled for 9 p.m. most Wednesdays in June and July and around 8:15 p.m. in August unless noted.
