Chicpea and HayOner have teamed up to bring the Forever Young Festival to Jersey City! It’s an outdoor party meant to celebrate arts and culture by bringing the community together to have fun. It’ll be the perfect place to sit back and relax, or dance around and meet new people!

The Forever Young festival is a celebration of arts and culture, and will be the first of (hopefully) an annual festival showcasing local artists and vendors in a chill, comfortable environment. We’ll have local talented artists and vendors, as well as festival games and activities like an onsite henna tattoo artist, a hair braiding station, and even a dunk tank!

Forever Young will feature local musicians from all genres. You could expect music from artists like Debra Devi, Conundrum, 7Triiibes, PeteyxKraze, King TJay, Bodega Dream, and more! We’ll also have DJ Bizznice, DJ Scott, DJ Get Loose, and DJ Robcast.
