Sounds of the City will feature a vendor marketplace in NJPAC’s arrival court. Vendors from around the area will set up tents each Thursday evening for concert-goers to shop at.

Sounds of the City brings together thousands of people from different ethnic groups and communities who live and work in Newark, as well as from beyond the City’s limits. Created in October 1998, this free after-work music series was the brainchild of a group of Newark
residents, musicians, students and NJPAC staff, whose purpose it was to help fulfill the Arts Center’s mission to be a place of access and involvement for local artists and audiences.

“Sounds of the City is a highlight for NJPAC every year. It’s a chance for us to bring the community together for a ten week party as well as showcase some of the tremendously talented up-and-coming artists from New Jersey and the surrounding area,” said Evan White and Verushka Wray-Spirito, co-Producers of the series. “We are delighted that we can bring free music to everyone who wants to come and hang out with us on Thursday nights.”
