About this event
Annual spring bike ride in which over a thousand riders circle the city and then participate in a giant after-party.
FREE! This event is free and open to all, but we are also accepting donations to fund Bike JC’s year-round work for better biking in JC. $5 is the suggested donation, but $0 is totally fine!

Finish Line: Jersey City Jazz Festival

At the end of the Ward Tour route (at 107 Morgan St.), riders will find a bike parking area and great food, drink, and entertainment options there!
Live music and festivities are scheduled there from 12-6pm on Sunday, so you can catch the last 3 or 4 hours of it. The Jazz Fest is also running the previous day, Saturday, June 4, from noon till 8 p.m.
ALL RIDERS, OF ALL AGES, and even people who AREN’T riding, are welcome to join us at the end of the Tour, for this “Finish Line Festival.”
NOTE: Bike parking outside Jazz Fest will be supervised, but is self-parking, not valet check-in/check-out, so YOU MUST BRING A LOCK if you want to park your bike there.
