107 years of tradition: 90,000 people estimated to attend St. Ann’s Italian Festival

One of Hoboken’s most popular and most traditional events is back again, running from Saturday, July 22 through Wednesday, July 26. The 107-year-old St. Ann’s Italian Festival -- known colloquially as “The Feast of St. Ann” -- will include the traditional statue procession and Novena.

The five-day festival is centered at Seventh and Jefferson streets. It promises games, rides, a 50/50 raffle, live music, a variety of food, a “best pizza in Hoboken” contest, and the famous fried zeppoles, whose recipe is guarded by the Saint Ann Guild who makes them.
