Typically a spring event in the past, the Italian Community Center's annual A Taste of Italy food-focused fundraiser shifted to October in 2024. This year, the event – long held in April with Festa following in July (now that Festa has returned to the Summerfest grounds it kicks off the festival season in spring) – takes place on Sunday, Sept. 7.

This longstanding tradition at the ICC, 631 E. Chicago Ave., is set for 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.  A Taste of Italy is run entirely by ICC volunteers, and helps support the Italian Community Center. As always, there will be a 50/50 raffle and musical entertainment in Festa Hall, but the food will be the real star.
