The Italian American Heritage Festival of Iowa is focusing on the regions of Veneto and Sicily this year. For the last eight years, the cultural hall at the festival educates people on different regions by foods, clothing, and crafts.

A few chefs will be cooking up foods from both Veneto and Sicily, so people can experience the different tastes. Executive Director of the Italian Multi-Cultural Center of Iowa, Patricia Civitate said there will be unique items from parts of Italy.
