2013 Hoboken Arts and Music Festival

This years, 2013 Hoboken Arts and Music Festival was an amazing success! Walking down Hoboken's Washington Street was a very slow stroll as the crowds were much bigger than year's past. 

Still there was so much to enjoy from yummy food stands and festival staples like sausage and peppers and zeppoles, to beauty stands, jewelry makers, wonderful unique art works and great live entertainment. 

All under the beautiful Spring sun and on Cinco De Mayo.

We ended the afternoon with what else? Margarita's at Black Bear on 2nd St. Did you have a good time at the Hoboken Arts and Music festival? Would love to hear from you!
