Hoboken Italian Festival

The 85th Annual Hoboken Italian Festival, the premier Italian-American festival in the tri-state area, returns to Sinatra Park along the picturesque Hoboken waterfront. Admission to the event is free.

The Festival seamlessly blends the grand traditions of Italian culture with contemporary events and entertainment. Each year, thousands visit the Festival with its bright lights and scenic setting, delicious variety of Italian delicacies, nightly live music and entertainment (including the popular cannoli eating contests and grape stomping competition), rides, and spectacular fireworks display. Yet, it is certainly the grand religious celebration, pageantry and tradition of honoring the Madonna Dei Martiri that defines the event.
