Jersey City Ward Tour 2018
2018-06-03 11:00 - 14:00 | city Hall Plaza, 280 280 Grove St, Jersey City, United States
The 2018 Jersey City Ward Tour will take place on Sunday, June 3, 2018, at 11:00 and will start at City Hall in Jersey City, NJ http://www.bikejc.org/events/jersey-city-ward-tour
Ward Tour sign-in and bib pickup begin at 9:00 a.m. at City Hall, located at 280 Grove St. in downtown Jersey City. Please arrive early enough to wait in a line or two, pick up your bib and pin it on. We recommend arriving no later than 10:00. We will all line up for the start at 10:45 and begin riding promptly at 11:00 a.m., in one large group. Helmets are required for all participants. Only riders 12 and over are allowed to ride individually in the Ward Tour. Younger riders can ride on an adult’s bicycle (in a seat, trailer, etc.). Adults, please register all kids coming with you too!
We’ll ride about 16 miles on streets closed to traffic, with a police escort. We’ll make a clockwise loop around the city, at a relaxed pace (10 mph), taking breaks, and returning around 1:00 p.m. to the finish. There we’ll continue to celebrate cycling all afternoon at our Finish Line Festival on the Hudson River waterfront, including the Lutze Biergarten, featuring live music, food and drinks, vendors and other attractions.
Please read all of the information in the Ward Tour Waiver Form when you register and fill in all required fields.
You must agree to the terms of the waiver and conditions on the registration page to participate.
Registration is free, with a $5 suggested donation to fund our year-round efforts to make cycling better, safer, more accessible and more fun in Jersey City.
PLEASE NOTE: This year’s Ward Tour & Festival is officially a rain-or-shine event.
We’ve realized it’s just too big and complex to organize it twice, and we can’t get permits twice, get a police escort twice, etc., for a rain date.
So we will ride June 3 even if it’s raining, in any weather that’s not dangerous, or simply cancel till next year for any that is (e.g. lightning, hail, very high winds, plague of frogs …). There will be no refunds, because it’s free! But as we’ve mentioned elsewhere, if you gave us, or plan to give us, the suggested $5 donation (or $5 million or whatever), those are non-refundable. And thank you!!

85% of women feel some sort of mood issues after delivering a baby. This can be feelings of sadness, guilt, anxiety, or just feeling “unwell”.
It’s very important that you speak to your physician about this, but it’s also nice to know that other mothers have the same feelings and struggles.
We would like to provide a forum where mothers can share feelings and experiences in a caring, non-judgmental atmosphere.
For The first few Post-Partum Depression support Group in Jersey City will be attended by a local primary care Dr. Ritu Sharma to help facilitate the conversation and answers any questions or concerns you may have. This safe space will become a gathering place for moms to connect, discuss challenges, and support one another.

2018-03-31 10:00 - 14:00 | 1 McWilliams Place on Hamilton Park,, Jersey City, AU
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT : Easter Egg Hunt Rescheduled for Next Saturday

Due to the amount of snow in the park, we are postponing The Great Egg Hunt to next weekend, Saturday, March 31, 2018.

Rest of the event plan remains the same.
Easter Egg Hunt in Hamilton Park/ Easter Egg Hunt in Jersey City, New Jersey

Be sure to RSVP for the annual Great Egg Hunt in Hamilton Park on March 24th!
If your child wants to participate in the egg hunt, be sure to check the schedule of events as there will be different time slots for different age groups. The younger kids can be accompanied by parents, and older kids will have the opportunity to search for eggs on their own. This surely is the most favourite Easter Egg Hunt in Jersey City. Since it was a huge success last year and we received lots of positive feedback from families.
There is also a time slot for kids with special needs. Be sure to check the schedule and RSVP to join in on the fun!

Our Easter Egg Hunt in Jersey city is a candy-free event, and once kids collect eggs, they will turn them in for treats, ranging from gliders to necklaces. Be sure to bring your own Easter basket or container. Children will have lots of space to search for eggs and there will be lots of supervision as students from NJCU have volunteered to work at the event, ensuring that everyone has a good time and is safe while participating. The day will also include dance performances from NIMBUS Dance Works and Next Step Broadway. A DJ will be spinning tunes and there will be food vendors and other local businesses and schools represented. And of course, the Easter Bunny will be on hand to meet and greet all the revelers.

Our partner in this event is HPNA and we have worked together to keep this event free for our community.

Both JCFamilies and Hamilton Park Neighborhood Association are non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations and will have donation boxes at the event if you would like to donate to ensure that the Great Egg Hunt and other community-based events stay free and accessible to all families in Jersey City.

These classes will also enrich students with knowledge of Indian culture, mythological stories and much more!

The adult beginner class is for those who truly enjoy learning a classical art form but also want to apply it. A large portion of the class will consist of understanding basic Kathak vocabulary and learning the essentials of footwork, chakars and todas.
