HOBOKEN, NJ – The 98th Annual Hoboken Italian Festival is set to bring four days of food, music, and tradition to the Sinatra Drive Promenade from September 5 to 8. This lively event will immerse visitors in Italian culture, offering authentic cuisine and entertainment, but the true highlight is Saturday’s grand procession of the Madonna Dei Martiri, or Madonna of the Martyrs.
On “Feast” day, the 800-pound statue will be paraded through Hoboken’s streets, celebrating a cherished tradition that connects back to Italy. Entry to the festival is free, inviting attendees of all ages to enjoy the rich heritage and festive atmosphere.
