The Loew's Jersey Theatre in Journal Square is celebrating its grand reopening Monday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and press conference marking the restoration and redevelopment of the historic venue.
The event will feature remarks from local and county officials, including Jersey City Mayor James Solomon, Hudson County Executive Craig Guy and other civic and community leaders.
According to organizers, the ceremony will include a presentation honoring the Friends of the Loew's for their decades-long efforts to preserve the theater, along with performances by the St. Peter's Prep Boys Choir and the Conservatory of Fine Arts.
The reopening marks a milestone in the preservation of one of Jersey City's most recognizable historic theaters and its return as a destination for live entertainment.
The inaugural schedule begins later this week with performances by the Trey Anastasio Band on Nov. 13 and The War on Drugs on Nov. 14. The theater's opening lineup also includes concerts, comedy shows and dance performances through the spring.
Organizers said the reopening is intended to celebrate both the theater's architectural legacy and its renewed role as a cultural and entertainment venue in Hudson County.
