We celebrated the Market of the Harvest Moon, this past weekend, which is the full moon closest to the Earth, near the autumnal equinox. This week, let’s give an Italian spin on this mystical moon phase as Dean Martin may have imagined, when he crooned, “Como e` bella ce` la luna brille e` strette ("How beautiful it is, the moon so close") in his 1959 classic “On an evening in Roma” that landed for 13 weeks on Billboard's Top 100 list.

Find yourself in downtown Farmington this Saturday for a taste of Italy at our second annual Italian-American Day. Beginning shortly before 9 a.m., we will welcome the heritage and cultural flavors of Italy with good food, lively music, children’s activities and more.
