Peach Pie Festival And Contest In Jersey City Heights Postponed, Still Taking Submissions

JERSEY CITY, NJ — The weekly farmer's market in Jersey City Heights — in Riverview-Fisk Park, just up the hill from Hoboken — is going to feature a Peach Pie Festival next Sunday, Aug. 3. The festival was pushed back from July 27 due to rain in the forecast, although forecasters now say the highest chance of rain is after 2 p.m.

Market Still On

The weekly farmer's market is on as usual from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Sunday.

The 12th Annual Peach Pie Festival And Contest will be held during the market next week.
