At least from my perspective as a NYer, virtually all ethnic communities, including those that have been in the country for more than 100 years, never totally assimilate into American culture and they keep ties to these things.
Religious institutions (I.e. all the Italian Catholics going to a different church than the Irish Catholics) and the entire family being nearby play a big role.
