Iron Mountain again will celebrate its rich Italian heritage Saturday with the 13th annual Italian Fest in downtown Iron Mountain. The event, sponsored by Local 1329 of the Michigan Laborers’ Training and Apprenticeship Institute, or LiUNA, kicks off at noon in the parking lot across from the Dickinson County Library, with a full slate of activities with an Italian flair planned until 11 p.m.

“Event goers can expect top-notch live music and performances, Italian cuisine and family-friendly activities throughout the day,” event organizer Amber Pipp said.
