New Jersey Digest is proud to announce its media sponsorship of Paisan Con, a vibrant celebration of Italian-American heritage and pop culture returning for its second year. The convention will take place from May 9th to 11th, 2025, at the Williams Center in Rutherford, New Jersey.

The name “Paisan” offers insight into the heart of this unique event. Derived from “Paesano,” meaning countryman or friend in Italian, this beloved Italian-American slang term embodies the spirit of community and camaraderie that Paisan Con seeks to foster.
