Going back centuries, the Ferragosto tradition recognizes the end of the harvest season and to enjoy the fruits of those labors. It is a way for families to engage in part of the Italian culture and coming together in a solid bond of family and friendship. Over 15 years ago, merchants of the Arthur Avenue/Belmont section decided to bring the Italian tradition to the Bronx and engage visitors from the Tri-State area and beyond in Italian culture, traditions, music and of course, the greatest food. The Ferragosto event continues to grow each year with an average of 14-17,000 guests who travel from near and far to make it part of their family tradition.This year we also celebrate 100 years for Arthur Avenue. Generations of family-owned businesses continue to thrive and appeal to people from all over with their small-town charm, family atmosphere and preservation of Italian culture like no other area around. We hope to see you at Ferragosto in New York’s “real” Little Italy and experience first-hand its old-world charm and tradition of good taste. It’s the culinary destination for dining, hand-made and imported Italian products and so much moreGoing back centuries, the Ferragosto tradition recognizes the end of the harvest season and to enjoy the fruits of those labors.
