For food that tastes just like an Italian Nonna would make, head to the 2025 Festitalia on this Sunday, September 7.

Sample authentic Italian cuisine – from regional pasta specialties and wood fired-pizzas, to decadent gelato, wine and espresso that will transport you straight to the streets of Rome.

The cultural feast includes international artisans and local performers showcasing live opera and folk music, plus street performers, pizza acrobatics, and Italian cars such as Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, and Fiat.

Try your hand at the ancient sport of fencing, participate in the traditional Tarantella dance, or join a sack race or tug of war.
