Join your neighbors and march with fife and drum up Washington Street from the Korean War Memorial to Paulus Hook Park, the site of the 1779 Revolutionary War Battle.

Led by Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee, a small group of patriots stormed the British-held fort in a pre-dawn attack at what is now the park at the intersection of Grand and Washington Streets.

Hear some history, send your kids out on a scavenger hunt and do some singing followed by a hearty toast to Light Horse Harry at his namesake establishment, the Light Horse Tavern, where proprietors Bill and Ron have offered appetizers for the celebration.

On Tuesday night, Jersey City celebrates National Night Out. This year Colgate Park, located at Essex and Greene Streets, will keep its gates open after dark from 7pm-9pm.

Families enjoy extended park hours and live children's entertainment. Learn about what Community Watch programs can do for Paulus Hook. Representatives from the Jersey City Police Department, Port Authority Police and New Jersey Transit Police have been invited to share neighborhood safety tips and information.

If you want information or have an opinion regarding Spectra's proposed route for a gas pipeline through Jersey City, FERC (The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) will hold a public meeting.

When: Wednesday, August 4th 6 pm to 10 pm

Where: Ferris High School, 35 Colgate Street

The proposed route is through some of Jersey City's most densely populated neighborhoods. It will also run very near to Homeland Security Department designated Tier 1 and 2 Critical Infrastructure.
