The story

St. Ann's Italian Festival in Hoboken

St. Ann's Italian Festival, widely known as the St. Ann's Feast, is Hoboken's longest-running Italian-American celebration, held each July around the Feast of St. Ann at 704 Jefferson Street. Founded in 1910 by immigrants from San Giacomo, a village near Salerno, the five-day feast mixes zeppoles, wood-fired pizza, live music, a beer garden, and a Sunday Mass and procession honoring St. Ann.

Its long-running community and religious identity make it a strong cultural/spiritual row.
