Lenny Bruno Farms Celebrates Italian Heritage

with the Return of the San Gennaro Feast,

New York’s Only Farm-to-Truck Italian Food Festival

————————————–

MANORVILLE, NY – Lenny Bruno Farms invites the community to experience the sights, sounds, flavors, and traditions of Italy as the San Gennaro Feast returns for a two-day celebration on Saturday, September 19 and Sunday, September 20, 2026.

Unlike any other event in New York, the San Gennaro Feast is proudly New York State’s only Farm-to Truck Italian food festival, where participating food vendors prepare authentic Italian cuisine using fresh produce grown directly on Lenny Bruno Farms. From vine-ripened tomatoes and sweet peppers to fresh herbs, eggplant, squash, onions, and other seasonal harvests, the farm’s crops become the centerpiece of the weekend’s culinary experience, creating a one-of-a-kind connection between local agriculture and traditional Italian cooking.

Guests can indulge in an incredible variety of authentic Italian foods inspired by generations of family recipes and regional traditions while enjoying freshly prepared specialties made with ingredients harvested just steps away from where they’re served.

The festival also features a thoughtfully curated artisan marketplace showcasing talented makers and small businesses offering handcrafted goods, Italian-inspired home décor, specialty foods, gourmet treats, artwork, jewelry, handcrafted gifts, and unique products that celebrate the beauty, craftsmanship, and heritage of Italian culture.

Each day of the festival begins with a special blessing from Father Felix of Our Lady of the Island, who will officially open the celebration by blessing the event. Following the opening ceremony, Father Felix will walk throughout the festival grounds, personally offering blessings to vendors, families, and attendees who wish to receive one, honoring the faith and traditions that have long been at the heart of San Gennaro celebrations.

Beyond the incredible food and shopping, families can enjoy everything Lenny Bruno Farms has to offer. Guests of all ages can spend the day exploring the farm while enjoying pony rides, face painting, permanent jewelry, meet-and-greets with friendly farm animals, children’s activities, interactive experiences, and more, making the San Gennaro Feast a full-day destination for the entire family.

The San Gennaro Feast beautifully blends Italian heritage with Long Island agriculture, creating an experience where visitors can gather around exceptional food, support local farmers and small businesses, shop from talented artisans, and create lasting memories with family and friends in an authentic farm setting.

“The San Gennaro Feast is more than just a festival. It’s a celebration of our family’s heritage, our farming roots, and the community we’ve been honored to serve for generations,” said Dominick Bruno, owner of Lenny Bruno Farms. “What makes this event truly special is that our guests aren’t just enjoying incredible Italian food, they’re experiencing New York’s only Farm-to-Truck festival, where the produce we grow here on our farm is transformed into amazing meals by talented chefs and food vendors. It’s a celebration of family, faith, farming, and tradition, and we’re proud to share that experience with everyone who visits.”

From authentic Italian flavors and handcrafted artisan goods to family activities, live entertainment, and meaningful traditions, the San Gennaro Feast offers an unforgettable weekend that celebrates the very best of Italian-American culture while showcasing the richness of Long Island agriculture in a way that can only be experienced at Lenny Bruno Farms.

Admission is $10 per person. Children ages 2 and under are admitted free. Educational hayride experiences and select attractions are available for an additional fee.
