The 124th Annual Feast of San Rocco, New York, NY
Aug 06, 2013
853
The 124th Feast of San Rocco in Manhattan will be celebrated by the San Rocco Society of Potenza on Sunday August 18th. This long held tradition was started on the Lower East Side of New York by immigrants from the town of Potenza. It is well documented by photographs that go back to Jacob Riis in the late 1880s and includes being part of the Godfather movie series.
Many Italians living in the area passionately supported the feast celebration for years. Today the event draws participants from Canada and the Tri-state region surrounding New York City.
