The smell of Italian food spread throughout Island Park as Sacred Heart Church hosted the 53rd annual San Gennaro Feast from Sept. 7-10.
The statue of St. Januarius, the festival’s namesake, was paraded through the streets and placed in front of Sacred Heart Church.
When the procession concluded, it ushered in four days of fun and feasting on Italian food and pastries that were cooked and served by volunteer parishioners.
The event also included games, music, an elephant sale, casino games, and rides such as a Ferris wheel, super slide, and carousel.
