Post-Little Italy Days Post
Bloomfield celebrated its 7th annual Little Italy Days on September 26, 27 and 28. Red and green tents lined Liberty Avenue where the sound of Italian Music and smell of delicious Italian Food were in abundance.
For three days, huge crowds descended on Bloomfield for the entertainment, food, bocce and games that are all part of this festival sponsored by the Bloomfield Business Association.
Thanks to all the businesses, residents, volunteers, and sponsors who made this event possible.
I was impressed with and thoroughly enjoyed the Mass & procession of La Madonna Della Civita since she has been a part of my life since birth. I am originally from Cranston RI & my home parish is named as Maria Santissima Della Civita & that is the only place in the USA that has this feast & devotion & always takes place in July, actually on the 21st or closest to it in the past 25 yrs due to peoples working schedules.
I came there with 2 other Sisters from my community and we are missioned in Ellwood City. We enjoyed the time we spent there outside of the religious aspect and the people were just so friendly.
I admire the entire organization who sponsors this festival & it is so important that it be continued by the next generation who should be proud of their culture.
Thank you so much for your help to me regarding my inquiry of information.
