Italian Festival

This past weekend was a busy one! Both the Italian Festival and Northern Lights Festival Boreal were going on. There were so many things to see and do, with so little time.

I always look forward to the Italian Festival every year, mainly because I am Italian. The Italian Festival always has something going on, whether it is the pageant or the pasta night. This festival is great for people of all ages. It is great to see how many people come to Sudbury from Italy just for the festival. They had a beer tent set up outside the Caruso Club where they had tables set up, live music, and food. Throughout the weekend they had different events set up, such as, the pageant with so much amazing talent, a soccer game, and activities for kids to participate in. The best thing about the Italian Festival is the food. They have so much delicious food. If you are planning to attend make sure you are ready to eat, because after all Italians love to eat! There is no way you can attend this festival without trying some of the food because it all smells so good, and it just draws you in. They always had a big lunch going on (porketta, sausage lunch), and even bigger dinner (the pasta dinner). You don't have to be Italian to attend, everyone is welcome. If you didn't have the chance to check it out this year, I suggest you try and make it next year! :)
