The Roots, San Gennaro Feast: MA Weekend Events

MASSACHUSETTS — It isn't so much a question of what there is to do in the Boston area and beyond, but rather, what should locals do?

Welcome to Patch's latest weekly roundup of highlight-worthy events across the city and surrounding areas. We've compiled them into one, easy-to-follow list, for your weekend planning.

The San Gennaro Feast is back this weekend featuring food and drink from North End restaurants and vendors, live music and dancing and culminating with a mass and procession with the statue of San Gennaro.

There will be more than two dozen booths featuring North End restaurants including: Strega, Bricco, Mare, Trattoria il Panino, Assaggio, Cini, Forcella and Umbria. There will also be a beer garden and espresso martini bar, the latter sponsored by DrinkThat Espresso Martini.
