If you’re in the mood for Italian, it’s another good week around Youngstown, OH. The Brier Hill Festival is set up at Calvin and Victoria Streets in Youngstown. It’s the 33rd festival in what was called Little Italy. The neighborhood was where many of Youngstown’s first Italian settlers lived.

 There’s Morra on Friday, a hot pepper contest on Saturday and wine tasting on Sunday. Games, food and live music are on tap all four nights of the festival, including two acts on Thursday. “Well, it’s about family coming back into town from all over the country. It’s a big reunion for everybody. Have a good time. It’s just a party,” said Dom Modarelli, a spokesperson for the festival.
