As the 123rd La Festa Italiana comes to a close, our gratitude knows no bounds.

We extend heartfelt thanks to the City of Jersey City, the Office of Cultural Affairs, the Hudson County Parks Department, and the countless volunteers who dedicated their time—whether for a few hours or every day—to make this event a success. Your support was invaluable in executing an event of this magnitude.

A special acknowledgment goes to our Chairman & CEO, Nick Grillo, and our dedicated committee members. This “feast” is not just an event; it’s a continuation of a century-old tradition celebrated and cherished by our ancestors. For us, its success is deeply personal.

We also want to express our appreciation to all our sponsors whose generosity helped underwrite the event, and of course, to the patrons who braved the rain (sometimes torrential), heat, and humidity to join us. Your enthusiasm made all the difference.

We look forward to welcoming you back next year for La Festa Italiana 2027, scheduled for August 11th - 15th.

Thank you once again for being part of this extraordinary celebration!

Congratulations to Andrew & Isabel on their wedding today at Holy Rosary Church - Jersey City during La Festa Italiana Jersey City.

Why during La Festa? Well they met at La Festa and got engaged at La Festa so why not marry during La Festa.

We wish them all the best and hope they’ll celebrate their anniversaries at La Festa too 🤪
