festivals are vibrant events that honor Italian culture and family unity.
Attendees delight in mouth-watering Italian cuisine, thrilling games, live
entertainment, and much more.
Italian Festivals, or feasts (large gatherings accompanied by food), are usually held over the course of a summer weekend.
These cultural events are largely organized by Catholic churches that have a significant congregation, or an Italian community service organization with an interest in promoting their culture and providing knowledge and stories for future generations to benefit from.
The primary aim of these organizations is to preserve and share their cultural heritage with future generations.
