The 8th annual Festival Italia takes over downtown Wakefield this Saturday, a celebration of the town's Italian culture and tradition.

This event gets bigger every year, and this year’s celebration will be no exception. Running from 2-8 p.m., the festival will transform Main St & Albion St. into a street festival offering a wide range of activities for locals and visitors. A number of booths will be dedicated to great festival foods, many sponsored by local restaurants.
