Opening Reception for Bob Delevante

The Hoboken Historical Museum is proud to feature “On The Steps of St. Ann’s: A Collection of Photographs from The Feast 2001-2022 by Bob Delevante” in the Upper Gallery. This exhibit is a retrospective of 16 black and white and color photographs documenting the extraordinary traditions associated with the Saint Ann Feast, from the zeppole stands, festive decorations, and throngs of visitors overtaking 7th and Jefferson Street. Delevante captures Hoboken’s continued connection to Monte San Giacomo, and the way the stars shine right here in this little town of ours, especially during The Feast.

Delevante shares: “The beer garden in the courtyard behind the church and streets surrounding St. Ann’s never seem to change. There are always some new faces but many of the old regulars as well. The sausage and pepper sandwiches, cold beer, and zeppoles never seem to change! Some of my photographs were taken in 2001, and then periodically right up through this last Feast. You’d be hard-pressed to tell one year from another. And that’s why I love going back there-Hoboken will always be the little town I left many years ago, at least for that week in July.”

“On The Steps of St. Ann’s: A Collection of Photographs from The Feast 2001-2022 by Bob Delevante” will be on display from July 21-August 25, 2024. All are invited for the Opening Reception on Sunday, July 21 from 2pm-5pm at HHM.
