The History of the Feast of San Gennaro, NYC
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
