San Gennaro Feast

This year's San Gennaro Feast will begin September 15th and will run until September 25th. This year there are some changes made to the feast.

On September 18th we will be holding a blood drive at the Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral.
On Mulberry Street between Prince and Houston Street we will have a full block of Italian Culture and Art.

This year there are many new vendors that will be set up throughout the route of the feast.



This is a procession in the Cathedral of Naples. The Archbishop is carrying the vile containing the liquefied blood of San Gennaro.
