La Festa Italiana : Jersey City’s Italian Festival
August 7 @ 5:00 pm - August 11 @ 11:00 pm
La Festa Italiana at Holy Rosary Church is century old tradition that celebrates Italian Heritage, Food and Faith.
For five days in mid-August this old-world Italian Street Festival brings together local restaurants and food vendors, live entertainment, games and rides for the kids and thousands of patrons to honor and celebrate Italian American Culture. Traditionally, the last day of the event a Mass is celebrated with the statues of Our Lady of the Assumption and St. Rocco are processed through the streets with marching band. The event concludes with the drawing of a Super 50/50 Cash Raffle which on average has a prize of over $10,000.
