The organizers of Festa Italiana announced this week that the annual late-summer event will return this summer to its normal spot on the calendar and normal location in front of Syracuse City Hall. The 2021 event is scheduled for the weekend of September 17, 18 and 19.

Organizers of the festival, which usually hosts up to 20 restaurant vendors, have not yet released or finalized pandemic-related details like capacity limits, they say, simply because regulation changes are too fluid and will likely evolve significantly over the next three months.
