JERSEY CITY, N.J., July 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (NYSE: CLI) announced it will contribute to Jersey City's Freedom & Fireworks Festival by offering its properties to host portions of the event. The Freedom & Fireworks Festival will now take place at Exchange Place and along the Harborside Waterfront due to the New Jersey state government shutdown and the closing of Liberty State Park.

"We are more than happy to help in this community effort to save the Freedom & Fireworks Festival," said Michael J. DeMarco, chief executive officer. "The 4th of July celebration in Jersey City has grown into an iconic event, bringing together Jersey City and surrounding communities, and we are proud to collaborate with Mayor Steven Fulop and the Jersey City Council to continue the legacy."

The festival will continue as planned from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. along the Hudson River Waterfront. The event will feature carnival rides, more than 20 food trucks and vendors, entertainment at 8 p.m. from Jersey City's Kool & The Gang, and a fireworks display over the Hudson River at 9:25 p.m.  Mack-Cali's Lutze Biergarten will also be open with a $10 dollar admission fee which Mack-Cali will match and make a donation benefitting Jersey City veterans groups. The Lutze 4th of July party will take place from 12 p.m. to midnight and feature food, drinks and games. Parking will be available at all Mack-Cali garages and lots for a day rate of $30.
