The Feast of San Gennaro in Los Angeles; Sept. 26-28, 2008

The Fall is always a great time of year, especially for Italian Americans. Here on the East coast we have the St. Gennaro's feast in Little Italy, NY. For the West Coast Italians, there is the San Gennaro's feast in Los Angeles.

A good friend of mine is on the board of directors for the LA feast, their organization on the West coast is backed by celebrities such as Jimmy Kimmel, Adam Corolla, and tons more. There is no city like NY, but I have to tell you the San Gennaro's feast in Little Italy is not what it used to be, there is so much crowding on the streets that it becomes more of a pain than a good time to attend. On the other hand, the LA feast is carefully orchestrated with schedules, parking, and sponsored events. If you're in LA, go check it out..this weekend is where its at.
