SAN GENNARO

Celebrated for the first time in 1926, the beloved Feast of San Gennaro is New York City's biggest, best known and longest running festival. It is an annual celebration of the Patron Saint of Naples.
On September 19 during each Feast, a Religious Procession, including the Statue of San Gennaro, winds along the length of Mulberry and Mott Streets, between Canal and Houston Streets.
The procession follows a Celebratory Mass held at the Most Precious Blood Church on Mulberry Street, the National Shrine of San Gennaro.
The streets are decorated with festive banners and arches in red, white and green, the colors of the Italian flag. There is great live entertainment, street vendors set up shop along the Festival Streets and there are carnival rides for the young ones.
During its 11- day run, the Feast of San Gennaro attracts crowds exceeding 1- million people, proving it to be one of the most popular events each year in New York City.

Activities take place along Mulberry Street, Hester Street and Grand Street, from 11:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. (Midnight on Fridays and Saturdays).
