To ensure the health and safety of citizens, artists, vendors, and volunteers, we are cancelling the 2020 Festa Italiana street fair.

For Immediate Release
Wednesday, July 1, 2020
Festa Italiana Raleigh, Inc.--a nonprofit corporation and the sponsor of the Triangle’s largest, most diverse, annual celebration of Italian and American Italian culture—announces the cancellation of its annual, shoulder-to-shoulder, open-air street fair, “Festa Italiana Raleigh,” originally scheduled for September 26, 2020 in the Glenwood South Neighborhood of Raleigh, NC.
There is a growing consensus among conscientious business owners, entertainers, local charities, public health and safety officials, as well as the general public, that North Carolina will remain in a ‘business-not-so-usual’ mode for the foreseeable future. However, when life gives Italians lemons, they make limoncello!
Festa Italiana Raleigh looks forward to providing an exciting 2021 event showcasing the rich, diverse Italian cultural heritage for all to enjoy!
Festa Italiana Raleigh will continue its efforts to celebrate the universally-vibrant Italian culture, as well as to raise charitable funds throughout the year. Consult the Festa website, https://www.festaitalianaraleigh.com/, and its Facebook page, , for exciting updates!
