The 18th Avenue Feast in Brooklyn – August 2026
“When is the 18th Avenue Feast?” is usually the question people ask me as soon as Spring comes around.
Also known as the Festa di Santa Rosalia, this year is the 52nd Anniversary of the Feast of St. Rosalie.
The 18th Avenue Italian feast will be held from Thursday, August 20th to Sunday, August 30th from 68th Street to 75th Street.
People love to go on the first night because they are excited. Angelo Venuto’s family performs at 8:00 pm.
The Feast opens at 6:00 pm and closes at 11:00 pm. On the weekend, it opens at 2:00 pm.
The annual Cannoli Eating Contest is on Monday, August 24th at 6:30 pm outside of Villabate Bakery at 7001 – 18th Avenue (71st Street)
Oh yeah and the feast is different now than when you were younger. It still has the same magic for teens, who are enjoying a Summer night with their friends.
SAUSAGES AND ZEPPOLES
Lucy’s sausages and zeppoles will be there. Lucy or her son will be running the sausage booth. This is what Lucy’s sign looks like:
