More than 50,000 fest goers are expected to attend, saying “Ciao” to new neighbors, and “That’s Amore” about the authetic Italian activities, delectable (or “buono” Italian cuisine, and energetic live entertainment in three dynamic stages. The four-day celebration will put Chicagoans’ appetites to the test, as a meatball eating contest will challenge some of the city’s best amateur competitive eaters. Meanwhile, visitors will get the chance to experience firsthand what it’s like to make wine overseas, as attendees will be encouraged to kick off their shoes and participate in a special grape stomping area that will be set up throughout the festival. Families are invited to come out and enjoy the Festa Italiana with their little ones, as carnival rides and family- friendly activities will be taking place all weekend long, all nestled alongside three great stages of live entertainment and some of the best Italian food that Chicago has to offer. The Taylor Street Festa Italiana is produced and managed by StarEvents. Entry to the event is a suggested $5 donation with proceeds benefiting the University Village Association, a community development organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for the Near West Side Community.
