The Italian Family Festa, now in its 41st year, is the premier signature event of the Italian American Heritage Foundation (IAHF). The members of the IAHF are proud to bring you this lively event as a way to share our Italian heritage with you.

Every year a dedicated volunteer team of 25 chairpersons take part in planning and developing the Festa. Each year they seek new and creative ideas to keep the Festa fun and relaxing to provide a truly cultural experience for the community. It is their passion that brings the Festa to life each year, and it is that same passion that will keep the Festa alive for years to come.

So come join us and live 'la dolce vita'.
