"The mornings are getting chillier, the sun is slipping below the horizon earlier and it's time to break out the sweaters. That means autumn is officially nearing, bringing with it some excellent fall festivals that we've been looking forward to for months, especially during those sweltering summer days. Both the Feast of San Gennaro and Oktoberfest celebrations kick off this week, treating New Yorkers to some of the best eating and drinking all year long."
"The annual Feast of San Gennaro is set in Little Italy, celebrating Italia with Italian food and free entertainment in an event dubbed "the feast of all feasts." Although it's a celebration of faith (folks tip their hats to the Patron Saint of Naples, Italy) the festive atmosphere, delicious food and colorful processions are what the festival is known for. For 11 days, Little Italy is transformed into a red, white and green bash with special guests, live music and lots of fun."
"Activities kick off on September 11 with the Blessing of the Stands and continue with daily performances and festival fun. Don't miss the Grand Procession on September 13 with floats, the statue of San Gennaro, Clarity Festival Band, The Giglio Band and The Italian Fairy. A Solemn High Mass celebrating the patron Saint of Naples will be held on September 19. Here's the full events calendar."
