The Bayonne Urban Enterprise Zone  (UEZ) and member businesses part of the UEZ are currently hosting a weekly event MUSIC ON BROADWAY.

Now in its fourth week the event has provided restaurant goers some incredible music while they sit  and eat in their favorite haunts.

Most of these restaurants and venues have  never had entertainment before the program and the public has enjoyed it to date.

The concept for the event was first started when the Bayonne Urban Enterprise Zone hosted Monday Music at the Museum a monthly series which brought bands into the Bayonne Commuinity Museum this past spring.

The series organizer Terry Young along with Dee Dee Bottino of the Bayonne UEZ have put together a talented group of 20 musicians who on a weekly basis rotate within the 18 various venues .

On Sat, June 6, 11 am-7 pm, and Sun, June 7, 12-6 pm, 22^nd to 24^th Streets (along Del Monte Drive) in Bayonne will be packed with more than 60 vendors and non-profits, childrenâ€s rides, games and plenty of entertainment. A soundstage will be set up in the parking lot in front of the Polish American Club, and Kiddie Town near the Mini Golf Course will attract kids of all ages.

How good is your pitching arm? Find out at the Dunk Tank where a good pitch will drop a local official into a tank of water – all for a good cause. Music, comedy, even a belly dancer are all part of the entertainment that will be on the soundstage on Del Monte Drive. And thereâ€s nothing like the view of Bayonne from atop the 55-foot Ferris wheel. Food vendors, face-painters, inflatable rides and Boy Scouts who offer free demonstrations will all be part of the fun.
