The Schuyler County Italian-American Festival is partnering with the Village of Watkins Glen to honor the county’s heritage in the new Lafayette Park Legacy Lane. Located on the north side of Lafayette Park, the Legacy Lane will start at the two brick columns at the Fourth Street sidewalk and will lead to the bandstand.

“Lafayette Park is the perfect location for this Italian-American Festival project, because the park was where the festival was revived in 1979,” festival Co-Chairman Louis Perazzini said in a news release, “and in 1994, the festival committee was one of the organizations that sponsored the installation of the brick columns and beautiful gates.”
