Tonight was the first night and I live close so I took a walk over. My first time but about what I expected. Half dozen local food places represented like Hamilton Park Pizza, White Star, Made w/ Love, Taste of NY Catering and a few others I can't remember. Some carnival games. Three blow up bounce around type things. Some vendors selling the usual street fair stuff. A wine bar (Camposino Wines I think) and full bar. Of course the lottery wheel and 50/50. I had a couple of the "famous" rice balls that I guess the ladies in the church sell for $2 each. Two filled me up and they were quite tasty. Seems like parking might be difficult if you are driving.

If you're looking for specifics about this classic Italian street festival, follow this link to check out their poster, and a cool NYT article from 2004.

It is an Italian fest which honors two saints-St. Rocco and the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in mid August. The feast usually runs Aug. 12 to 15th.

I know it is in August but when? I think I asked this before but can't locate the thread.

Thanks
