BUG TAKEOVER
My trips to City Hall are usually marked with frustration and discontent, but this weekend, with the bug takeover, my visit was anything but.
The Waterbug Arts Festival showcased the talents of many Jersey City artists, making me damn proud to be part of this vibrant scene. Notable performances were by the Rebecca Vallejo Project, Marafanyi Percussione, Joe Condiracci and In Petto. I missed much of the evening performances, but from the looks of the crowd that emerged by nightfall, the evening artists were equally talented, if not more. Photos from the day-long festival follow:
