Youngstown Italian Fest July 30, 31 and Aug. 2

The Greater Youngstown Italian Fest will celebrate its 25th anniversary July 30, 31, and Aug. 2 with entertainment, rides, contests and plenty of food.

The event attracts 40,000 to 50,000 people annually, John Rossetti, the festival’s chairman, said today. Rossetti said he hopes the 25th annual celebration will bring even more people to the upcoming event.

“People enjoy being downtown and sharing the Italian heritage of the Mahoning Valley,” he said.

Admission is $3 at the gate. Those under the age of 12 are admitted free.
