People come from near and far to enjoy the food, music and culture that
characterize the Italian heritage. La Festa Italiana has something for everyone.
More than 60 vendors will offer a wide variety of foods and displays.
The finest Italian cuisine is cooked and served daily, presenting festival
goers with the dilemma of which tempting dish to try next.

featured during the afternoon and evening each day. Click here for the entertainment schedule.
A Mass in Italian will be celebrated at 12:15 PM on Sunday in St. Peter's
Cathedral, located one block from the festival site. This special liturgy is always attended by a capacity
audience, so plan to arrive early. The Mass will also be televised by CTV:
Catholic Television, in the Diocese of Scranton. Please check local
