St. Joseph's Day Celebrated by Sicilians and Italians in New Orleans
Charles Marsala of AWE News interviews Peter Gilberti, President of the Italian American St Joseph's Society, Lena Prima and John Viola on the annual Pasta Fest, Altars, and the St Joseph's Day Parade presented by the Italian American St Joseph's Society.
The parade is one of the premier Italian-American events held post-Mardi Gras in the historic New Orleans French Quarter. The parade consists of beautifully decorated floats adorned by the Queen and more than sixty exquisitely dressed Maids, hundreds of tuxedo-ed Italian-Americans handing out green, white and red beads, silk flowers and blessed fava beans. Music is provided by bands and dance teams with sound trucks playing Louis Prima, Dean Martin and Sinatra music. Enjoy an evening of parades and dancing in the streets. Come sing, dance and even be kissed by an Italian!
The Italian American St Joseph's Society is a non-profit offering scholarships and in the spirit of St. Joseph's Day does a pasta luncheon at St. Jude's Community Center.

Great video didn’t know that New Orleans had that many Italians and had a parade
WOW! So nice seeing this- I want to go and see you all. Louis Prima's daughter! Pasta! And all done with respect to the Saint, the elders, the culture.....Love from Philadelphia

We do celebrate St.Joseph's Day with novenas & altars in private homes. My Aunts have hosted a few of them, but our big celebration is the Feast of St. Peter, including a parade, outdoor Mass, carnival, sporting events, music & dancing in front of the altar at St. Peter's Square. My family has done several floats over the years. Many "'menicanis" often comment how it is a New Orleans type atmosphere.
Beautiful. Touches my heart. Love it 🇮🇹🙌🏽🇺🇸
Bellissimo!
That is really nice.
I 💘 Italian from CHICAGO.
Viva San Giusseppe y Viva San Pietro from Gloucester, Massachusetts. Pop. 30,000, 35-40% of at least 1/2 Siciliano heritage. We just celebrated the feast of St. Peter, patron saint of fishermen, after a two year hiatus this past weekend. Since 1927, the last weekend in June before the 4th of July.
New Sicilian heritages
My middle (Christian) name is Joseph... Anyone want to guess my birth month!
I'm cool with this but not Columbus Day!
