Fall-A-Palooza

Fall-A-Palooza draws hundreds from all over Jersey City for a day of fun family activities. It combines traditional carnival games with youth performances from local performing arts studios and Community Art Projects as part of the Jersey City Art and Studio Tour (JCAST), and a kids craft village. Palooza will be an official stop on JCAST – the Jersey City Arts and Studio Tour. This year we intend to host a student art exhibit as part of our 25th anniversary year. The theme of the exhibit is “Our CIRCLE Values” and we are calling for art that will celebrate or embody one of those values: Community, Independence, Respect, Courage, Leadership, or Effort.  From a henna station, to ring-toss, sand art, raffle table, live performances, and so much more — you won’t want to miss out. Join us for a fun-filled afternoon, in support of the Learning Community Charter School!
