EVENT
Italian Festival hosts first event in Sun City
Posted
The Italian Association of Arizona has scheduled its eighth annual Italian Festival for March 11 and 12 at the Sun Dial Recreation Center, 14801 N. 103rd Ave.
“The Italian Festival is part of a dream to bring a piece of Italy to the desert,” said Italian Association’s Executive Director Francesco Guzzo. “We started with a small event along the Southbridge in Old Town Scottsdale in 2014 with a few vendors and lot of enthusiasm. Eight festivals later, we are hitting attendance capacity and keeping Italian traditions alive."
The Italian Festival has a variety of live entertainment during the weekend including opera singers, The Sicilian Band, revolutionary accordion player Cory Pesaturo and traditional flag wavers from the Piemonte region. The event will provide authentic cuisine such as fresh biscottis, gelato, espresso, pasta and pizza. Non-food vendors will also be in attendance to sell jewelry, handmade Italian leather purses and much more.
