The St. Ann’s Feast is returning to Hoboken once again this summer at 704 Jefferson Street. Now in its 116th year, the beloved festival will take place from Wednesday, July 22nd, through the Feast Day on Sunday, July 26th. In past years, locals have had plenty to enjoy at the St. Ann’s Feast, from fan-favorite zeppoles and live entertainment to kiddie rides, a beer garden, and more festive fun throughout the week. Read on for more details about the 2026 St. Ann’s Feast in Hoboken, New Jersey.
History of The St. Ann’s Feast
Hoboken has a thriving Italian population. Many who reside here descended from immigrants who came over from San Giacomo, a province of Salerno, Italy, which was named after St. James the Apostle. A wave of immigrants came to Hoboken from Italy in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Though a lot of time has passed since this wave, many locals still feel connected to and celebrate the spirit of Italy — and this desire to remain connected dates back to the early 1900s.
To uphold these religious and traditional values, the San Giacomese Hobokenites established the St. Ann’s Society, a group that advocates for the values of their home village. The construction of their church was a success, and to honor this, the St. Ann’s Society decided to host a grand feast in honor of St. Ann and the traditions of the San Giacomese.
Members even went door to door around Hoboken to collect the funds for this celebratory feast, and in July of 1910, they reached their fundraising goal, and the festival was born. Fast forward over a hundred years, and The St. Ann’s Feast is still being celebrated by Hobokenites with many of the same foods and traditions unchanged.
