The Annual San Gennaro Feast promises to be an enriching and enjoyable event for the entire community. It is an occasion to celebrate the legacy of Lenny Bruno Farms, which has been a cherished part of the community since its establishment in the early 1930s by Italian immigrant Dominick Bruno. This beloved farm has a rich history that saw it transform into a successful business when Dominick's son and second generation farmer, Lenny Bruno, took the reins in the 1950s. Lenny's passion and dedication to the land and its bounty guided the farm through decades of prosperity until his passing in 2018. We honor the enduring spirit of Lenny Bruno, his unwavering commitment to quality, and the generations of farmers who have upheld this treasured tradition over the years. As we gather at the Annual San Gennaro Feast, we invite everyone to learn about the farm's remarkable journey and the people who have made it a cornerstone of our community's heritage.

Join us in experiencing the best of Italian-American culture, cuisine, and farm life at the Annual San Gennaro Feast.
