Hoboken Holiday Festivities Planned

The City of Hoboken has several holiday activities planned for the coming days to start of the holiday season in style.

On Saturday and Sunday (Dec. 3 and Dec. 4) there will be a Holiday Crafts Fair in Hoboken City Hall, which will feature Handcrafted Gift Items by local artists, photographers & crafters.

You'll also find other things there, such as: pottery, art, photography, stained glass, mirrors & frames, hand knit (scarves, hats, mittens, doggie sweaters & more) jewelry, baby clothes & blankets, holiday ornaments & arrangements, soaps & body lotions, candles, notecards & stationary, bar-b-que sauce, salsa,herb infused balsamic vinegars & olive oils, backed goods, crystals, paper weights, and so much more.

Most items are one-of-a-kind and if you don't see exactly what you want, you can place a special order with the artist.

Also: Live music, face painting, and a visit from Santa Claus.

Mayor Dawn Zimmer encourages residents and visitors are invited to enjoy the craft fair and continue their holiday shopping and support our small local businesses throughout the holiday season.
