The Living Dead Market Returns: VIP Hour Attendees will have one hour early access to The Living Dead Market. On Saturday October2nd, The Jersey City Alternative Arts Market (Formerly the Jersey City Oddities Market) returns to The Historic Harsimus Cemetery in Jersey City! Featuring over a dozen of your favorite vendors of the old and the odd- This yearly fundraiser supports the all volunteer cemetery board working diligently to keep the historic cemetery as a public green space and cultural hub of Jersey City. From www.Jerseycitycemetery.org: "The Historic Jersey City & Harsimus Cemetery is a National Treasure. Prior to the creation of the Cemetery in 1829, it's historical significance dates back to the 1700's as the site of Revolutionary War skirmishes, and an active Ammunition Bunker during the War of 1812 that still stands proudly on our grounds. Now the sacred eternal resting place of thousands of soldiers from the Revolutionary & Civil Wars, the War of 1812, the Spanish-American War, WWI and II, forward, as well as home to our earliest Jersey City founders, leaders, residents and legends. With its 200 year old English Ivy adorning many of the towering trees, and the monumental works of art, this 6-acre sanctuary of peace and unique history is one of the most beautiful natural settings in Jersey City. Sadly neglected and abandoned in early 2008, the Jersey City & Harsimus Cemetery is now being saved and preserved by the dedicated efforts of a newly formed volunteer Board of Trustees, a hard-working group of volunteers, and a supportive Community who are committed to the restoration of the historic cemetery grounds, caretaker house, and historic monuments. With undivided loyalty, we will protect and preserve, with honor, our ancestors and veterans in memoriam, while promoting the early American historical events that took place on these sacred grounds. " From 11am until 12pm we will host a VIP hour. This includes: Early shopping access, limited capacity, and a swag bag of goodies from our artists. VIP Access is $20 per person, in advance.
