Festa Italiana is a time in August each year where local area natives gather to enjoy great authentic Italian cuisine and culture, play games, listen to music and visit with family, friends and former and current classmates. While the 2020 festival was cancelled due to COVID-19, plans are still in the works to hold the event in 2021 as long as COVID-19 restrictions allow it.

Mary Ann Colestro, president of the Festa Italiana Committee, said they have been receiving a lot of inquiries as to the status of the 2021 festival, especially through the “The Official Festa Italiana in Bradford, PA” Facebook page.
