Description
Each year I tell myself to go to this festival. It's been more than 20 years since I've gone. Well today I managed to get there.
Although this is an annual celebration of faith, the Feast of San Gennaro is known the world over for its festive atmosphere, an 11-day event featuring religious processions and colorful parades, free musical entertainment every day, a wide variety of ethnic food delicacies, charming restaurants and cafes and a world-famous cannoli-eating competition. The central focus of the celebration takes place every September 19th, the official Saint Day when a celebratory Mass is held in Most Precious Blood Church, followed immediately by a religious procession in which the Statue of San Gennaro is carried from its permanent home in the church through the streets that comprise Little Italy.
As you can see today's weather was outstanding! I went home with the obligatory Zeppole, Torrone and a Sausage and Pepper hero...

Sounds like it was fun, but now you've made me hungry.
Wonderful work !!!!!!!
Oh Barb, I can just smell the goodies cooking away in your shot. Glad that you got to the festival this year. Alas I haven't been to "The X" in Toronto for a very long time.
Nice collage, outstanding captures!
