A decades-long tradition is returning once again to Little Italy in Endicott, NY. Preparations for this year’s St. Anthony’s Italian Feast Days are underway in Little Italy. Even though most of the work comes a week before the festival, event organizers start making reservations for the equipment in Jan.

“This last week just seeing everything show up and arrive, come into stock with the food and the products and the volunteers that’s the exciting part,” said Chairperson of St. Anthony’s Italian Feast Days Gina Kane. Throughout the week, volunteers and employees work hard to prepare all the meals.
