UN FESTIVAL PER TUTTI

FOLLOW US ON ig @FESTAITALIANASLC

Welcome to Festa Italiana SLC, Utah's Premier Cultural Experience. Hosted at the beautiful Gateway Plaza our guests enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Downtown Salt Lake City while exploring the culture, entertainment and culinary diversity of Utah’s thriving Italian community.

Founded by members of the Italian American Civic League the two day festival highlights include live Italian entertainment, food booths highlighting the regions of Italian cuisine, Italian beer and imported Italian wine, arts & crafts, historical displays, children’s sections, exotic Italian cars, street performers, and much more!

Proceeds from the festival will support local and national non-profit charitable organizations supported by the Italian-American Civic League of Utah.

Salt Lake is home to many incredible street, art and cultural festivals and that is why we put so much effort into Festa Italiana SLC! After visiting Italian festivals in some of the great cities across the country, our organization wanted to bring Italian culture, food and entertainment to the mix. It is our goal to give a little taste of what we know as Italian-Americans to anyone who attends the festival. We hope to see you there!
