Downtown Italian Festival - August 1,2,3

This is fantastic, and should encourage event planners to locate their events downtown. Three cheers and a tip of the hat to the Italian Heritage Committee, you've shown that these kind of events can succeed. Now what about the Irish and German community? Can you top this?

Those Sicilian Italians that immigrated from Africa certainly contributed to the event! Great get together for those in the Valley!

We processed aprox 40,000 for the 3 day event. The Italian Heritage Committee said it was the highest attendance they have had since the late 1980's. Thanks to all who came down to support the event. It was a lot of hard work but it was a great, great success. More to come...

I never have seen so many people downtown. We need more of these types of festival's downtown. There had to be well over a 5-10 thousand tonight, I got no idea for sure, but let me put it this way, there was a person everywhere you turned in your way.

FABULOUS FESTIVAL!
