March marks the start of festival season, bringing everything from chocolate and beer tastings to pizza crawls and cultural food celebrations.
If you’re sticking around Jersey City or up for heading out for a short drive, these March events offer a mix of culture, flavor, and low-key fun to ease into spring.
The Chocolate Expo is a large-scale chocolate and gourmet food festival featuring dozens of vendors offering tastings and take-home treats. Expect artisanal chocolates, baked goods, specialty foods, cheeses, and a mix of craft beverages, along with live demonstrations and chocolate-focused presentations throughout the weekend.
Brewsology Beer Fest combines craft beer tastings with interactive science exhibits, giving you the chance to sip, explore, and learn at the same time inside a museum setting.
It’s a fun pick if you enjoy beer festivals but want something more interactive and less crowded than a typical tasting hall.
Uncork Spring offers a range of New Jersey wines in a walk-around tasting format with light bites and live music.
This is a nice middle-ground option if you enjoy tastings but prefer a relaxed setup where conversation and pacing matter just as much as what’s in your glass.
The Dream Asia Festival is a lively celebration of Asian culture, featuring street food, music, performances, shopping, and interactive experiences throughout the day.
Expect an energetic atmosphere that works well for groups, families, or anyone who enjoys sampling a little bit of everything in one place.
Jersey City Pizza Fest is a self-guided pizza crawl that lets ticket holders sample slices from multiple local spots across Downtown Jersey City. Rather than a single-location festival, it’s set up as a walkable food tour, making it easy to move at your own pace and try a range of pizza styles.
