With ramen from Menya Jiro, arepas from MozzArepas and much more, Night Market is taking over Jersey City once again this year, starting on April 1. Live DJs, activities, games, and a “Small Bites for a Small Price” motto make Night Market the go-to for local foodies who love a good time. Cost-friendly as well—the market features items starting at $5 to ensure that attendees have the opportunity to try multiple dishes and entry is totally free!

JC Night Market is the all-ages answer to the also popular Midnight Market—which is centered more around nightlife.
Introducing global-inspired flavors, innovative pairings, and local charm, Night Market was conceptualized with small businesses in mind. The event gives these businesses exposure, often resulting in networking opportunities and an increase in revenue.
While Midnight Market is geared toward adults 21 or older, Jersey City Night Market welcomes pets and people of all ages in a walkable, open-air environment. The City Hall Ancillary Lot will host the now family-friendly event on April 1, June 3, August 5, and October 7.
Admission is free and the event is open to the public, tickets can be reserved here. More information is posted on the Night Market site, which is updated frequently. With over 40 expert-curated food, art, and wellness vendors confirmed, here is a full list of vendors, some of whom are featured below.

Hadez Food Truck
With savory soul food options like the brisket mac and cheese, pulled pork sandwich, and oxtail rolls, Hadez Food Truck is a local treasure. Priding themselves on their selfless service, integrity, pride, honesty, and customer loyalty, Hadez is a must for folks looking to try something new and delectable.
Empanadas by Lady G
Serving up an assortment of empanadas in non-conventional flavors like shrimp and crab, buffalo chicken, and a vegan spinach, artichoke, and sundried tomato option, is Empanadas by Lady G. As they don’t have a brick-and-mortar location yet, you’ll have to catch this one while it’s hot.
Sticky Icky’s Waffles
Exotic waffle vendor Sticky Icky’s Waffles offers several decadent toppings for their perfectly puffy waffles, some shaped provocatively. Toppings include dulce de leche, guava sauce, and Oreo cookies. With Captain Crunch and Fruity Pebbles, they even have cereal toppings that make for elaborate presentation, bound to garner some envious social media mutuals.
Without a doubt, you won’t want to miss Jersey City’s Night Market on April 1 and beyond. Reserve your tickets today!
