What is La Festa Italiana Jersey City?
La Festa Italiana is an old-world Italian street festival that has its roots dating all the way back to 1902 when Italian immigration to the US was at its height.
The festival brings together friends, neighbors, and family members who gather to enjoy good food, good music and lots of fun. It really is one of the most anticipated annual events in Jersey City!
Local restaurants create some amazing dishes and artisanal specialties for you to try. Each night there is live entertainment along with games and rides for both kids and adults.
The festival has grown over the years and continues to draw thousands of people from all across the country as they make their annual trip back to their favorite Italian festival.
