What:
Come to Downtown Willow Glen for the the 28th annual Italian American Heritage Foundation's Italian Family Festa! The popular Italian Family Festa is the oldest and largest event of its kind on the West Coast. The Festa has shared the full richness of being "Italian" with hundreds of thousands of patrons. It has become a superb showcase in the folklore of glorious Italy, with its Italian Village atmosphere, food, costumes, art and photo exhibits, games, and musical entertainment.
Featured at our Festa is the pony-drawn San Jose Italian Festa Cart which is covered with paintings and sculpture of San Jose history. The Festival also includes a grape-stomping contest, children’s games, a Tarantella contest, dancing, and performances by legendary accordionist Dick Contino, San Francisco's retro-Italiano band Bella Ciao, and more.
