Stiltwalkers, dancers and roaming accordion players will entertain the crowd, guests will have a chance to help choose the “Boss of the Sauce” and catch cooking demonstrations, and Italian-American history, automobiles and artwork will be on display at the annual Festa Italiana! this Sunday in Lodi.
Headlining the musical selections at the festival will be Italian-American tenor Pasquale Esposito. Born in Naples, Italy, Esposito has lived in Northern California since 1998 and has ties to Lodi. “For many years, I’ve been very close to the community,” he said. Esposito is known for performing both traditional opera and “pop opera,” a genre made famous by performers like Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban and Il Volo.
