We look forward to it every year, rain or shine ?Rain is better for the zeppolles for a shorter line. Last year that line alone snaked all the way to Brunswick St. It was worth the wait ?Yummy food, good music, nice kid rides, and for the church ⛪️ ?

I expected much much more from this Italian “party”. I put party in quotes because this is just a small, yes, super small street fair, just 2 blocks.The weather wasn’t good so that obviously contributed to my “not so happy” day but my 2 stars are strictly about the “party” itself because bad weather is nobody’s fault.There is very limited food choices and the food didn’t look good. Cheese steak looked very dry and the kebabs look like they had been sitting there for 2 weeks. The only thing I enjoyed was the rice ball but it’s small for $7 a piece.Lots of people asking for donation for churches and a few other causes. The band was ok but the sound wasn’t very clear. There is a very limited number of small tables near the stage if you want to eat.Since it was raining it wasn’t difficult to find street parking 3 blocks away and the line for the food wasn’t bad. But if it’s a sunny day I can imagine how difficult it would be to find parking and, as other reviewers have mentioned, the long lines to order food.

Probably one of the largest street fairs I’ve ever been to it was crowded all day and all night lots of fun activities and different foods

Nice old fashion festival. Not too big, but enough variety and some really great food and music. First time visiting this particular festival, but will certainly be back next year.

Long live the Holy Rosary and long live the Italian Festival!

Pleasant memories of Italy. Beautifully lighted up. Inexpensive beer.
Our family had a blast! We look forward to this festival each year! It never disappoints with great food, music, and community reunion! Something for everyone! Can’t wait for next year.

Absolutely love when its time for La Festa. Great food, drinks, and entertainment. I make sure to go a few days so that I can try all the food options. Don’t forget about the rice balls and wine&?!!!

Fun time to kick back and enjoy some italian food. However most of it is really expensive and not worth the price however there are stalls worth checking out such as the mozzarepa stand those are delicious. Live music and raffle for gambling enthusiasts. Arts and crafts stalls are available and so are kids playgrounds. Worth a visit!

Always a good time, wonderful to see old friends back in JC. The wine and peaches was always better than this year, but there’s always beer to move on to!
