“Having grown up in the same house as my Grandparents, I have been blessed with the understanding of the significance of our heritage. We want to bring back the importance of family and community through our festival. It’s important to stay mindful of the hardships that our ancestors endured in migrating to this great country in search of the American Dream. We want the Taste of Little Italy to help share old traditions and create new family memories as we share in the passion of the Italian – American culture,” explains Festival Producer, Jerry Somma.

Stay for an hour or stay for the entire day! Stop by the Banfi Wine Seminars, Festival Rides, Games, The Villa Marzia Limoncello Bar and the Budweiser Piazza. Tradition Square will look like Little Italy with vendors in every direction with authentic Italian food! Enjoy the jewelry, art, clothing, Italian novelties and cookware. The Taste will also include a large Little Smiles Kids Zone area, a Bocce Ball Court and a street painting exhibit.

So close up your kitchen, grab the kids and Grandparents and come be together at The Taste of Little Italy.
