You don’t need experience. Just yourself (and maybe a sweatshirt if it doesn’t warm up soon)! Never tried QiGong before? ⬇️ See below for more details.

QiGong is often described as a sister practice to Tai Chi, a gentle, meditative movement practice rooted in the cultivation of energy. While Tai Chi follows structured forms, QiGong is more fluid and intuitive — inviting you to slow down, soften, and reconnect with your breath and body. Through simple, flowing movements you’ll create space for the nervous system to settle and the mind to quiet.

TAG A VENDOR YOU WANT TO SEE AT THE MARKET THIS YEAR!

Interested in joining the Riverview Farmers Market? Here’s a few things you should know:
- We’re more than a market, we’re a community destination. We offer free community programming like live music, events, festivals, family activities, and more regularly throughout the season.
- We host the Market outdoors in beautiful Riverview Park, which is easily accessible to Jersey City Heights, Union City, and Hoboken. Talk about a market with a view!
- Just because the Market runs every Sunday, doesn’t mean you have to. We accept flexible scheduling from our vendors! If you can only make it 1X or 2X a month, or maybe only on event days, we can work with you.

To all our friends and neighbors, we can’t wait to see you again starting Sunday, May 3!
