Every year, on the second Thursday of September, New York celebrates for 11 days, the holiday of Napoli (Italy) patron – San Gennaro. The 94th Annual Feast of San Gennaro, New York City’s longest-running, biggest and most revered religious outdoor festival in the United States, will be held on the streets of historic Little Italy, the lower Manhattan neighborhood which served as the first home in America for hundreds of thousands of Italian immigrants who came here seeking to improve their lives beginning in the early part of the 20th century.
If you are interested in food, choose from indoor and outdoor dining at 35 of Little Italy's most famous Italian restaurants, or more than 300 licensed street vendors selling international foods, plus official Feast of San Gennaro, New York City and Little Italy souvenirs. The delicious food, the free musical entertainment that reflects Italian-American culture and heritage are all there. The Feast brings the world to Little Italy and Little Italy to the world.
