The Feast of San Gennaro celebrates its 98th year this September, drawing attention to the rich history of Italian American culture in Little Italy.
The statue of San Gennaro, a mainstay of the feast, is displayed during the 11-day event and symbolizes the deep-rooted tradition of Italian immigrants.
Originally starting as a one-day tribute in 1926, the Feast of San Gennaro has evolved into an 11-day celebration of community and heritage.
The Church of the Most Precious Blood, a historic site since 1904, serves as a vital connection for Neapolitans to their patron saint, San Gennaro.
