Inflation is making nearly every aspect of our lives more expensive including enjoying the valley’s favorite food festivals.

The San Gennaro Feast is back after a two-year hiatus.

It’s on the M Resorts Spa and Casino property where you’ll find vendors, food, and rides.

Bringing all the fun, but at a significantly higher price compared to 2019.

Event organizers say they spent $150,000 more this year to host the Italian food festival.

A result of rising costs because of inflation.

This includes the food, rent, tents, and decorations.

Those expenses trickle down to visitors who can expect to pay more for their sausages and other items.
