The sights, sounds and unmistakably delicious aromas of Italian heritage will once again fill Festival Way during the 2025 Festa Italiana, set for Aug. 7 to 9. The beloved community event will once more feature homemade delicacies, live entertainment and memories to last a lifetime. Not only a celebration of culture, this festival is a heartfelt community fundraiser that has given back to dozens of local organizations over the last 30 years.

“I think many people may not realize that all the money we raise during this festival goes back to local sports teams and organizations like the United Way, YWCA and Zonta Club,” said Mary Ann Colestro-McCalla, president of the Festa Italiana Committee.
