There will also be food and drink provided on site, as the festival is partnering with Welcome Home Jersey City to bring Afghan and Pakistani dishes from refugee chefs.

Tickets can be bought for $35 in advance and $40 at the door on Saturday. Info regarding ticket purchases and more for the 2022 event can be found on the Hudson West Folk Festival website.
