events, show, entertainment in NYS
Since 2010, the Italo-Byzantine Orthodox Cathedral of the Theotokos of Great Grace (Our Lady of Grace) in Utica, New York has conducted the Festa di San Gennaro (feast of St. Gennaro) honoring one of Italy's most beloved saints: St. Gennaro, Bishop of Benevento. La Festa di San Gennaro is a four day celebration of faith, family, friends and culture featuring tradition Italian foods; entertainment; special activities and events including cannoli and meatball eating contests, a silent auction featuring many high end items; and a variety of activities for children. In recent years, an international food court offering foods from more than 10 different countries has been added. A Crafter's Village showcases the talent of more than 25 crafters and artists. Admission to the Feast is free.
