Play in Newark
Come enjoy and celebrate Newark at lively events and programming, happening in and around the city’s newly renamed Harriet Tubman Square. Starting this summer, Audible, in partnership with the Newark City Parks Foundation and our cultural neighbors, will be hosting dozens of events, including Newark First Fridays, yoga, a Juneteenth community cook-out, Newark Artist Collaboration art classes, Afro Beat workouts, a farmer’s market and much more.
There’s something for everyone. All events are free and open to the public.
