Organizers of the Rock the Haus festival say they're leading New Jersey back to reopening with the three-day event.

Pilsner Haus Biergarten is hosting Hoboken's first music festival of the season. It will last until Sunday on 15th and Grand streets.

This is the first weekend where New Jersey residents, vaccinated or not, are able to gather outdoors without a mask on.

Guests can expect food, drinks and live music.

"We feel a commitment to the community to be able to get people out and feel better about the summer and getting back into post-COVID situations," says Vince Crysler, CEO of Pilsener Haus & Biergarten. "We really want to give them an opportunity to come out in a safe environment."

Organizers say if you have proof of vaccination, they'll cover the cost of your first round of drinks.
