'Jersey Fest' Concert In Jersey City Postponed Suddenly

JERSEY CITY, NJ — An annual concert that was to feature New Jersey musicians and food this weekend has been postponed, the organizers said Wednesday.

The "Jersey Fest" concert, in its second year, was to take place at the White Eagle Hall concert venue on Saturday night.

It was described as "a night of live music, great food, and pure Jersey spirit" with rock, indie, blues, and folk music from Reality Suite, Emerson Woolf and the Wishbones, and Connor Bracken and the Mother Leeds Band.

Food vendors were to include Rutt’s Hut and Johnny’s Pork Roll and Coffee Too. VIP ticket holders were entitled to special chef's tastings, surprises, a private bar, and more.

"After much consideration, we’ve made the incredibly tough decision to postpone this weekend’s Jersey Fest until later this year," said Radio Garden State. "This wasn’t an easy call. A lot of heart, time, and energy went into planning this event, not just from us, but from the incredible artists and bands, vendors, and partners who helped bring it to life."

They said, "But in order to give this festival the full experience and energy it deserves, for the bands, the vendors, and especially for all of you, we know the right move is to take a step back and reschedule for a date that allows us to deliver on that vision."

They told ticket-holders that they could get a refund or hold onto the ticket for the rescheduled date.

"Jersey Fest will return," they promised, "and when it does, it’ll be louder and better than ever."

A fanwrote, "Sad but also hoping I can make the new date!"

A portion of the proceeds were to be donated to the Jetty Rock Foundation, which supports coastal communities, environmental initiatives, and local businesses in need.

Tickets were $48. Find out more here.
