In honor of our 50th Anniversary, we’re making it official… Hertel Avenue will be dedicated as “Italian Festival Way”! Join us this Friday, July 18 at 10:00 AM outside 1168 Hertel Ave for a special press conference and street trailblazing sign unveiling celebrating five decades of Italian pride, culture, food, and famiglia right here in Buffalo.

The event will feature remarks and participation from Buffalo Mayor Chris Scanlon, Delaware District Councilmember Joel Feroleto, The Buffalo Italian Heritage Festival Board and Galbani spokesperson Chef Marco Sciortino, representing our presenting sponsor!
