Bensonhurst’s Santa Rosalia Feast continues to show Italian pride
After Covid setbacks, festival is back in full swing
Bensonhurst showed off its Italian pride once again as it kicked off its annual Feast of Santa Rosalia on Thursday at 18th Avenue from 68th Street to Bay Ridge Parkway.
Known as a summer fixture to the neighborhood, the 10-day festival includes the familiar, beloved food, games, rides, music and shopping that many have come to expect during the 40 years it’s been held.
Foodies are attracted to sausage and pepper sandwiches, zeppole from the Lucy’s and Stella’s stands, and much more.
