Once again Festival Way in Bradford (PA) will be filled with the sights and sounds of Italian food, music and culture during 2024 Festa Italiana, held Aug. 8, 9 and 10. This year’s event will feature musical performances, many vendors and, of course, all of those Italian treats locals wait all year to enjoy.

The air will be scented with the aroma of delicious delicacies including pierogi, rigatoni, wedding soup, fagioli soup and sweet cannolis for dessert. Every year, these cultural delights are handcrafted by the ladies of the LaStella Lodge Auxiliary. And they get into gear early.
