The Feast of San Gennaro will return to downtown Danbury for its fourth annual celebration from Aug. 20–24, featuring food, music, fireworks, and cultural festivities centered on Italian heritage. Organizers have named Antonia “Tonina” Chieffalo as the 2025 Grand Marshal.
A longtime Danbury resident and member of the Amerigo Vespucci Lodge for 60 years, Chieffalo has held several leadership roles within the organization and represented it at Italian consulates in Hartford and New York. She has received multiple mayoral honors for her service and commitment to preserving Italian culture in the community.
