Events
From Brazilian Day to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel’s Italian Festival, Ironbound is almost always in party mode. Titus says the biggest event is the Portugal Day Festival. The festival is often held the first weekend in June, with food vendors and live music, but the community holds events leading up to the big day, including raising the Portuguese Flag at city hall, a special Mass at Newark Cathedral and the grand parade down Ferry Street. Sports fans can catch a New Jersey Devils hockey game at Prudential Center or see the New York Red Bulls play soccer at Sports Illustrated Stadium.
