You can read my 2013 experience HERE.
Festa Italiana took place along Front Street at the Cuyahoga Falls River Front…
…with entertainment stages found at either end.
As festival guest walked from one end to the other…
…they came across various games of skill…
…shopping opportunities for such items as toys and rings…
…metallic decor, earrings and bracelets…
…and, of course, Italian food.
Offerings included cheese steak sandwiches and Italian sausage…
…pepperoni rolls, pizza and stromboli…
…arancini, meatball sandwiches, plenty of pasta…
…all of which could be washed down with an ice cold beer.
Then, for dessert, there were Italian pastries…
…gelato and coffee…
…and biscotti galore to bring back home.
