What's happening
The free event is open to everyone, from neighbors and families to elders and church groups. The lineup includes a health fair, soul line dancing, arts and crafts, a basketball shoot-out tournament, kids' soccer demos, R&B karaoke and photo backdrops. Guests are invited to bring their own basket, with community potluck tables for sharing snacks and drinks.
Now in its third year, the picnic has become a Hoboken tradition, started by Kera to honor the past, celebrate the present and keep moving toward the freedoms of the future. Updates are posted by @wejumptogether and @milesquaremommies.
