La Festa Italian Festival on East Passyunk Returns Bigger and Better Than Ever
EntSun News/10777848
PHILADELPHIA - May 23, 2019 - EntSun -- Filitalia International and Foundation, with support from East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District, presents La Festa Italian Street Festival on Sunday, June 2, 2019, from 11:00am to 7:00pm. Head to East Passyunk (between Broad and Moore) for this all-day, all-ages street festival that features the much-anticipated South Philly spaghetti eating contest, live music, dancing, food, beer, wine, contests, prizes, vendors, shopping, wine-making demos, vodka water ice, and culinary displays. For family fun, look for children's games, moon bounce, trampoline, orbitron, duck pond, trackless train rides, water gun fun, soccer games, face painting, yoga and much more. This year, look for the festival to nearly double in size with an expanded footprint, two stages, even more vendors - and more of the city's best eats! At the heart of the festival, don't forget to visit the family-friendly History of Italian Immigration Museum at 1834 East Passyunk. Admission. La Festa is free. The event is rain or shine. As a bonus, double your fun with East Passyunk Craft Beer Day, as part of Philly Beer Week, on the same date and at the same time over 15+ East Passyunk bars and restaurants. For more about La Festa and Craft Beer Day, visit www.visiteastpassyunk.com/events.php. For more about the Museum, visit http://www.filitaliainternational.com/museum-main. All proceeds from La Festa benefit family programs of Filitalia International and The History of Italian Immigration Museum.
La Festa, nicknamed after La Festa Della Repubblica and Italian National Day, is an Italian national holiday that celebrates when Italy became a republic in 1946. Many of the Museum's Board of Directors, volunteers and members of the community immigrated here from Italy - or are first and second generation Italians. Each year, the local board and volunteers come together with the East Passyunk community to throw a celebration to mirror the festivals in Italy. La Festa is organized by Festival Director Saverio Nestico, along with an annual committee of volunteers that includes Nick Volpe, Kelly Alexander, Henry Amanto, Miguel Luzon, David Milano, Ray DeJohn and Joseph Rossetti.
