Nevada has so many experiences and things to do year-round, including a host of fun and unique festivals - with themes ranging from rubber duckies to superheroes to barbecue, and everything in between. Some you may pass on while others pique your interest. How about all-you-can-eat Italian food? We think YES. And if you feel the same, do not miss this Italian food festival in Las Vegas.

The San Gennaro Feast is a bi-annual Italian food and music festival in Las Vegas, Nevada. This incredibly popular event has been drawing locals and visitors from all over the world for 43 years.

Similar celebrations are held in Italy, New York, and other places in May and September.

This year, the San Gennaro Feast will be held from May 10 to 14, 2023, at the M Resort in Las Vegas. Each Admission ticket is good for entry on any one day of the festival.

Outside of Italy itself, this is considered the biggest and best celebration of Italian heritage.

This festival is a tradition held in honor of Saint Gennaro, the Patron Saint of Naples, Italy. Neapolitan Folklore holds that this martyred Saint is one they can appeal to for help with any need or emergency and that he is the patron of Italians wherever they are in the world.

An estimated 20,000 to 50,000 visitors throughout the event will be able to sample a huge variety of flavors and dishes at 70 international food vendors.

Don’t fill up completely on pizza, sausages, seafood, bread, pasta, and other savory delights. Remember there are plenty of Italian sweets to be had, including gelato, pastries, tiramisu, and of course, mouthwatering cannolis.

At least 40 different musical performers, tribute groups, and bands will be at the festival, with live international performances on the main stage every hour throughout the event.

Attendees will be able to browse all kinds of food and product vendors, including prepared sweets and foods, arts and crafts, home exhibits, and more.

The festival will include plenty of carnival-style games and amusement rides for children, young adults, and the young at heart.

On opening night only, parents receive a free wristband when they purchase a child’s POP unlimited rides wristband. Families will also enjoy face painting, pony rides, and a petting zoo.

On Wednesday through Friday, the festival runs from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday hours are 1 p.m. to midnight and Sunday hours are 1 p.m. to 11 p.m., with fireworks at 9:30 p.m.
