Hoboken Arts And Music Festival Schedule Released: See Map, Bands

HOBOKEN, NJ — The Hoboken Art and Music Festival returns this Sunday to the lower half of Washington Street, a three-block walk from the Hoboken Train Terminal.

As always, the twice-annual festival will have more than 300 vendors from Newark through Seventh streets, and two musical stages.

The headlining musical act, Toronto-based cover band Dwayne Gretzky, will appear on the Observer Highway stage performing the classic hits of the '70s, '80s, '90s, and 2000s. The 10-piece band, known as “Canada’s Greatest Party Band,” has built a following based on their energetic live performances.

They will perform toward the end of the festival, at 5 p.m.

The first set of performers on the Observer Highway stage will be cast members from "The Great Gatsby," performing the Broadway show's opening number around 11:45 a.m.
