Mark those calendars, Missourians, for the epic Festa Italiana, a three-day Italian festival in Kansas City jam-packed with authentic food and fun activities.
Planned for Friday, May 1 through Sunday, June 2, 2019, the annual festival returns to Zona Rosa, an "urban town center" bursting with shops and restaurants.
But, for the first weekend in June, it's all about Italian-American culture and long-treasured Italian traditions. Start your visit by browsing the countless vendors who will be serving...
Scrumptious everything from Italian sausage to piping hot pizza. And, if you love meatballs, you just might want to sign up for UNICO's Meatball Eating Contest, slated for Friday at 7:30 p.m.
Of course, the weekend will also feature a full lineup of live entertainment. Grab a seat for performances by Flashback (band), Addalyn Antonuccci (dance), and Vince Scola (singer).
