There’s more than just pasta, meatballs and cannoli to feast on at this weekend’s St. Paul’s Italian Festival. A whole lot of culture and community fun is on the menu, too. Just travel to Erie’s Little Italy for live music, games, souvenirs, a large auction and more during the annual festival, Friday through Sunday at St. Paul Roman Catholic Church.

The centerpiece of this year’s event will of course be its signature Italian fare — from sausage sandwiches to delicate desserts — as well as a Friday night pasta fagioli dinner, 5 to 8 p.m., and a Sunday spaghetti dinner, noon to 6 p.m.
