AVON, CT — One of the most notable aspects of Italian culture is the food, which anyone can attest is delicious, filling, and beloved.

It all starts on Friday, Sept. 12, with festivities beginning at 4 p.m., and the festival continues the next day, Saturday, Sept. 13, at noon.

While folks can purchase all sorts of Italian delicacies, they can enjoy an endless litany of toe-tapping musical performances from myriad acts and musical tastes.

Parking is limited close to the site, so guests can park at the Residence Inn on Ensign Drive in Avon and take a shuttle bus to the festival.

No pets are allowed at the event.
