THE FEAST: St. Ann’s Italian Festival Returns to Hoboken
The feast is back, for its 108th annual return to the streets of Hoboken…
The St. Ann’s Italian Festival runs from Saturday through Thursday, July 21-26. The traditional procession of St. Ann will take place on Thursday at 11:00 a.m.
If you live in Hoboken and you’ve never been, then you don’t live in Hoboken… you just sleep here.
This event is so renowned, Frank Sinatra himself brought Ronald Reagan to the Hoboken St. Ann’s Feast in 1984, as he was running for re-election.
“I heard about your zeppoles,” said Reagan, “and so, here I am in Hoboken.”
The line for zeppoles is nearly as well-known as the festival itself. But it’s always well worth the wait—as is the line at the sausage stand, pizza stand, seafood stand and so, so much more.
The games and rides are great for the kids, the beer tent is great for the adults and the entertainment is fun for all. If you’re looking to truly connect with essence of this community, the Hoboken St. Ann’s Feast is it—all packed into a few blocks near 7th & Jefferson.
