The Feast of San Gennaro, which features rides, games, entertainment and the best Italian food in the city, will be held on September 23-25th on Grove Drive (between Beverly and 3rd). The festival will open September 22nd with Prima Notte, a star-studded charity gala hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla. The event will honor Italian jazz great Louis Prima and Keely Smith, his former wife, with Smith performing a tribute to their years together.
