Experience a wide variety of delicious Italian delicacies at La Festa Italiana Jersey City. From pasta to homemade rice balls, our festival offers the best flavors of Italy. Join us to indulge in the finest Italian street food that will transport you straight to Italy while only a short walk from home in downtown Jersey City.
La Festa Italiana Jersey City is a 501c3 charitable organization that helps preserve the rich Italian American culture that our ancestors brought from Italy to Jersey City at the turn of the 20th century. The money raised from La Festa goes to support Holy Rosary Church, the first Italian Church established in the State of New Jersey in 1885. This historic church was the center of Italian immigration in Jersey City and at its peak supported nearly 20,000 families.
It costs over a $100,000 annually to produce La Festa. A staggering number that inhibits our fundraising efforts. It is imperative that we solicit sponsors to help offset this expense. Below you can download our Sponsorship Letter with information on different sponsorship levels.
Your continued generosity is much appreciated and ensures this beloved event continues year after year.
We’re proud to announce William J. Guarini Plumbing and Heating as the Presenting Sponsor of our 2025 La Festa Italiana! Located at 430 Danforth Avenue in Jersey City, Guarini Plumbing has been proudly serving the greater Jersey City area and all of New Jersey since 1921.
We extend our sincere thanks for their extremely generous donation and continued community support. Learn more about them at www.guariniplumbing.com.
