FESTA!, the Italian American festival in Little Italy offers two entertainment stages featuring an array of musicians and performers throughout the day and an interactive children's area; and Italian art and food.
Italian food: All local restaurants will be open and overflowing, serving up the best Italian cuisine – everything from pizza and pastries to authentic pastas and giant calamari! In a picturesque urban setting, the beer and wine garden will provide guests with an exciting venue to mix and mingle.
Italian entertainment: Two entertainment stages will feature an array of talented musicians and performers throughout the day.
Italian-inspired fun and sports: Bocce ball tournament; Stickball exhibition game; Raffle prizes; and an interactive children’s area; and Italian art!
In its 15th year, the free event has become fondly known as the largest single-day Italian American festival west of the Mississippi and is expected to attract more than 120,000 to the hip and historic Little Italy neighborhood in San Diego. This year, there are more ways the public can learn about the history, experience live entertainment and get inspired by the united community enthusiasm for Italian heritage.
