Little Italy
Take a weekend trip to Italy!  Little Italy in NYC that is.  The Feast of San Gennaro is New York’s City’s largest festival.  This year marks the festival’s 92nd anniversary since it began in 1926, when groups of Italian immigrants settled in what is now known as New York City’s “Little Italy.”

The New York festival, an 11-day salute to the patron saint of Naples, is run by Figli di San Gennaro (Children of San Gennaro), a non-profit organization devoted to preserving the spirit and faith of the early Italian community.  Both locals and tourist flock to the Feast of San Gennaro to participate in the parades, religious processions, musical performances — and, of course to overindulge in the variety of Italian foods offered.

The Feast of San Gennaro is located along Mulberry Street between Canal and Houston Streets. The festival stage is located on the corner of Grand and Motts Streets.
