The Feast of San Gennaro
Mulberry St & Grand St
New York, NY 10013
Thursday September 12 through Sunday September 22
At the turn of the 20th century when Italian immigrants settled on the lower east side of Manhattan each region settled on a different street. The Neapolitans settled on Mulberry St.
In 1926 with keeping their Neapolitan traditions they decided to have a one day block party for their patron saint and protector of Naples, San Gennaro which continued year after year something that has now and for decades become not only a New York icon but a world known 11 day event which stretches throughout 11 blocks of the Little Italy neighborhood.
For generations this feast has always been an important part of our neighborhood not only representing the Saint Himself but also representing our ancestors, our culture and our traditions.
The Feast of San Gennaro 2024 in Little Italy, NYC runs from Thursday September 12 through Sunday September 22!
