NEW YORK – Forty people joined Camden County College on a bus trip on Saturday, Sept. 23, to experience the Feast of San Gennaro in New York City. The Feast, in the Little Italy district of Downtown Manhattan, sprawled over seven blocks and featured an array of vendors, selling Italian and Mediterranean foods, drinks, artisanal crafts, and artwork, among other things. The festival even featured attractions for children, including a Ferris wheel, a carousel, teacups, and a handful of carnival games.
Students Travel with Faculty & Staff “What we do is we take students, faculty, and staff to the San Gennaro festival,” said Jacqueline Tenuto, the Assistant Dean for Student Development and Support and one of the coordinators for the trip. “We drop you of at… Mulberry Street, and…it’s really is a day in New York.
