Hollywood This Weekend: The Feast of San Gennaro

The Feast of San Gennaro returns to Hollywood for its 11th anniversary this year.

Saturday and Sunday enjoy the community festival that celebrates Italian culture with music, food, wine, rides and games.

Special events throughout the weekend will raise money for local charities including a "gravy sauce" competition hosted by The Meatballs of Comedy. On Sunday, the Feast partners with the Order Sons of Italy in America to broadcast a live telethon on the main stage to raise funds for Veterans.

The Feast is open Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Admission is $5 and kids under 12 are free. All proceeds benefit the San Gennaro Foundation, which provides aid to children and families in need in Los Angeles.

The festival is located across the street from the Hollywood & Highland Center behind the Jimmy Kimmel Live Theater at 1651 N. Highland Ave.
