San Gennaro Festival was first celebrated in New York City on September 19, 1926 by newly arrived immigrants from Naples. September 19th is the most religious day of the Festival of San Gennaro, and usually features a religious procession, followed by a mass celebration.

Some things you can do during the San Gennaro Festival:

* Eat in one of the restaurants in Little Italy
* Watch the procession
* Listen to the musical performances
* Visit the carnival
* Have a picnic and eat zeppole, mostaccioli riepeni, tiramisu, gelato, torrone and other great Italian food

And to all Italian Americans out there, here’s something we found in YouTube. A video of the San Gennaro procession in Las Vegas on 2004:
