A beloved celebration of Italian culture is returning to the region this summer, and it promises a full day of flavor, music, tradition, and family fun. Festa Italiana will take place on Sunday, June 7, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Lodi Grape Festival Grounds, bringing the community together for a lively event packed with entertainment, activities, and some of the area’s favorite Italian food.
