Super Bowl 2014: Parties in New Jersey, a local roundup

Earlier this month we posted our fan guide, a wide-ranging look at entertainment, food, parties and more in both New Jersey and New York for Super Bowl XLVIII.

Now that the big game is little more than a week away, let's revisit the New Jersey parties that will crop up in towns, boroughs and cities all over the state. VIP and big-ticket affairs crowd the New York scene, but Jersey, too, has not ignored its identity as Super Bowl host.

While Newark hosts Super Bowl Media Day, local communities that have organized several days of party events include Secaucus and Ridgewood. (Secaucus' Winter Blast will include a Guinness World Record attempt for the world's largest mozzarella football.)

East Rutherford, home to MetLife Stadium, has its own game-day party in Meadowlands Tailgate Party 2014, while Montclair has a series of big-game activities, as well as VH1's Super Bowl Blitz concert with Gavin DeGraw. In Hackensack and Rutherford, as with other towns, events tagged to the game will benefit charity. See all these events and more here, and word from local authorities on their homegrown celebrations here.

Several other events will highlight Jersey's part of game week, even if they're not parties. Touchstones of the scene, they'll lend an air of celebration to Super Bowl week.

At Liberty State Park Monday night, the Super Bowl Kickoff Spectacular stars music from the Goo Goo Dolls, Daughtry and The Fray, as well as Macy's fireworks. Also in Jersey City, at Pole Position Raceway, there's Jersey City Fashion Week, and at Liberty Science Center, the "Gridiron Glory" exhibit.

One visual cue will tower over the Hudson waterfront ? Hoboken has an illuminated sculpture that spells out "Super Bowl XLVIII."

Where will they be doing the fireworks from so atleast maybe I can find a good place to view them since concert sold out.

All sold out again...

Thanks for the heads up! Originally, I was bummed that the concert was sold out almost immediately. But, I now realize that the concert is on Monday night. Kinda hard to get back from work by 5:30 or 6:00 to make it in on time to enjoy the food and then the concert at 7:30.

Just checked, there are still $40 VIP tickets available, they must have added more since the initial sell-out. Includes entry to the "warming tent," food/coffee at Maritime Parc. Click the link in the first post.

The Fray joins Super Bowl Kickoff Spectacular at Liberty State Park

Looks like the Broncos will have a little piece of home representing them at Liberty State Park Monday night.

Denver band The Fray has just been added to the Super Bowl Kickoff Spectacular in Jersey City. The band also joined the Broncos for the AFC Championship Game against the Patriots last Sunday.

Previously announced performers at the Liberty State Park show are the Goo Goo Dolls and Daughtry. Jordin Sparks will help host the kickoff event as a correspondent at Macy's Herald Square ? the show features Macy's fireworks.

The NY/NJ Super Bowl Host Committee also announced that more tickets ? both free tickets and VIP tickets that cost $40 ? are being made available, due to high demand. The event sold out last week.

Prior to the announcement, The Fray were already part of Super Bowl week. They're on the lineup for the NFL On Location pre-game party at the Izod Center on Feb. 2. Also playing that party are Cyndi Lauper and Doug Flutie.

The Super Bowl Kickoff Spectacular is 7 p.m. Jan. 27 at Liberty State Park, 200 Morris Pesin Dr., Jersey City. Tickets are at sbkickoffspectacular.com. The VIP tickets include a reserved viewing spot for the show and fireworks as well as access to a pre-concert warming lodge at Maritime Parc Restaurant.

For those not wanting to venture outdoors that evening, portions of the show will air Monday at 8 p.m. on Fox Sports 1 and repeat at 2 a.m. Tuesday.

Terrible lineup, but probably would have had good resale value. I'll just watch and listen from my balcony

It's free. It's fireworks. Live bands with a couple of big songs. It was an easy sell-out since there is really nothing on the line. If people choose to not show up, they won't be out money.

Heck, I would have signed up despite not caring for the Goo Goo Dolls or Daughtry.

Who wouldn't want to revisit the 90's?

wow those sold out fast. Thanks OP, I was able to get 2.

Ugh the Goo goo dolls... No thanks!

Sold Out!

Just registered for free tickets, because why the hell not, and they make you choose a method of transportation. But walking isn't an option!
