Downtown Italian Fest Question

[Towntalk]

ADMISSION TO THE ITALIAN FEST WILL BE FREE. DONATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED AT THE GATES ACCORDING TO THE VINDICATOR.

Wouldn't an admission fee be listed on the brochure?

I have a brochure for the Greater Youngstown Italian Fest.  The map on the back indicates that the event will be held from Phelps Street to Champion Street and from Commerce Street to Boardman Street.  Four "gates" are listed. 

West Federal at Phelps
East Federal at Champion
Wick Avenue at Commerce
Market Street at Boardman

To me, a gate implys an admission fee or some other means of limiting access to the festival area.

The poster that I saw did not mention anything about an admission fee.

It stated that the entertainment and parking were free.

I see nothing about an admission fee on the flyer I have.

The downtown Italian Festival is August 3-5.

Is there a charge to enter the festival area?
