Vendor Booths

In 2018, Yoga Fest Jersey City had approximately 30 vendors with booths located at the Grove Street Plaza. In 2019, vendors will be moved into the Pedestrian Zone of Newark Avenue. This will allows for better integration between street activities and vendors. Products and services must be yoga related and can include body work, henna tattoos, yoga supplies, jewelry, books, wellness and personal training. All products and services must be vegan and eco friendly. Please refer to the vendor letter for further details.

Vegan Food Trucks

In 2018, very little was offered in the way of food and drink. Expanding the event into the second pedestrian block will allow ample space for food and beverage outlets. All food products should be vegan to promote the yogic tradtion of non-violence. Green and sustainable products and containers are highly encour-aged. Please refer to the food and beverage letter for more info.

Meditation and Microworkshop Tent

Kids and Family Yoga

Yoga can be fun for the whole family. In 2019, an area of family yoga will be added with classes and activities throughout the day. It will be a excellent opportunity to introduce family members to yoga. Bring your entire family in 2019!
