Newark is experiencing a cultural renaissance, with a live events scene that's finally getting the respect it deserves. NJPAC (New Jersey Performing Arts Center) is a world-class complex hosting major concerts, Broadway tours, and cultural programming in a stunning downtown setting. Prudential Center handles arena tours and the biggest events. The Ironbound district, Newark's Portuguese and Brazilian neighborhood, buzzes with live music and cultural events. The city's proximity to New York has long overshadowed its own scene, but Newark's growing downtown and arts community are asserting a distinct cultural identity.
