Hoboken Italian Festival 2010

The 84rth Annual Hoboken Italian Festival emulates the "Feast of the Madonna Dei Martiri," which began in 1399 in Molfetta, Italy a small Adriatic town. The Festival has become an annual Hoboken waterfront extravaganza with international foods, music, fantastic fireworks display, large crowds, a picturesque landscape and a unique "blessing of the fleet."

A variety of continuous entertainment with headliners every evening. Amusement rides and a midway attract the many families who attend. The Madonna is carried through the streets of Hoboken on Saturday afternoon followed by the blessing of the fleet. Vendors line the street, with the event menu including all the food that made Hoboken famous, and a beer & wine garden to accompany the gastronomic delights. The event also hosts a fantastic fireworks display over the Hudson River on Saturday evening.
