Italianfest, one of Northern Kentucky’s most beloved summer traditions, is returning to Newport Festival Park from June 12-15. Set along the Ohio River between the Purple People and Taylor-Southgate Bridges, the festival offers free admission and is expected to welcome over 120,000 attendees.

“Newport Italianfest is a cherished tradition that brings our community together to celebrate the vibrant Italian heritage that has enriched our city for generations,” said Newport City Manager John Hayden. “This festival not only offers a taste of Italy with its delicious cuisine and lively music but also showcases the spirit of Newport.”
