The clams, sausage and peppers, fold-over pizza slices, rainbow cookie donuts (a must-try!), and enough pasta to feed an army are once again being dished out to hundreds of thousands of San Gennaro Feast-goers in Lower Manhattan’s Little Italy.
“The Feast of All Feasts” will run from Sept. 14 – 24, and 2023 marks the 97th celebration of this historic and widely popular religious and cultural event.

The Feast takes place on Mulberry Street between Canal and Houston, on Hester between Baxter St. and Centre St., and on Grand between Baxter St. and Centre Market Place.
Italian immigrants brought the tradition into the Lower East Side in 1926. At that time, the feast was dedicated to the patron saint of Naples, St. Januarius, and it first sprang up around a small chapel on Mulberry Street.
