Bronx, NY — One of the Bronx’s most beloved cultural celebrations is back this fall as Ferragosto 2025 returns to Arthur Avenue on Sunday, September 7, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. The annual festival, held the Sunday after Labor Day, is a vibrant expression of Italian heritage, featuring music, food, tradition, and community spirit.

Rooted in a centuries-old Italian tradition, Ferragosto marks the end of the harvest season and a time of rest and festivity. In Bronx Little Italy, the celebration has evolved into a dynamic neighborhood event that brings together families, neighbors, and visitors from across the region.

Festivalgoers will enjoy:
🎶 Live music and performances on the main stage at East 186th Street
🍝 Classic Italian dishes and street food
🇮🇹 Cultural traditions passed down through generations
🎈 A lively, family-friendly atmosphere honoring old-world customs

Spanning Arthur Avenue from East 187th Street to Crescent Avenue, Ferragosto transforms the heart of the Bronx into a scene reminiscent of an Italian village festival—complete with the sights, sounds, and flavors of southern Italy.

The event is free and open to the public, taking place rain or shine.

Getting There:
Visitors can park at Fordham University (685 E Fordham Rd) for a $10 fee, with free shuttle service to and from the event from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

With deep cultural roots and a warm, communal spirit, Ferragosto in the Bronx has become a meaningful tradition for many—whether you’re reconnecting with your heritage or simply enjoying a joyful day of celebration.
