The Heap Cometh to Hoboken

Friday, September 22nd starting at 3:00PM and Sunday, September 24th from 2:00PM-5:00PM | LEARN MORE

This Friday starting at 3:00PM, The Heap, a larger than life walking puppet, will be making its way throughout the Mile Square from Puppet Heap’s homebase at the Monroe Center for the Arts. The puppet will be stopping to gather whatever or whoever it encounters along the way and adding them to the towering pack on his back. Spot him at any of various shops on the route including Yukis, Black Rail, Bwè (on Washington), and The Hive. Hoboken Business Alliance has donated 100 museum tickets to the exhibit which will be given out on a first come, first serve basis during The Heap’s walk along route or wherever you see the ‘Person of Interest’ poster. The museum exhibit will take place on Sunday, September 24th from 2:00PM-5:00PM and will remain on display until November 5th at the Hoboken Historical Museum. The multi-media installation will depict a glimpse of the Heap later in life, in hibernation, after his burden had become so heavy that he has sunk halfway into the earth.
