About Us

Festa Italiana North Carolina was founded by a small group of Italian Americans in the Triangle. Proud of their heritage and nostalgic for the Italian street festivals they grew up with, they organized the first-ever Festa Italiana in 2018. Since then, it has become a much-anticipated annual event celebrating Italian culture, music, food, wine, and more.

In the spirit of the generosity of the Italian American community, Festa Italiana North Carolina raises thousands of dollars each year to support the work of local charities with the support of our sponsors and vendor fees.
