Free admission, live bands flown in from Italy, and a pizza-eating contest are drawing visitors back to downtown Salt Lake City this weekend, as Festa Italiana returns to The Gateway for its 11th annual run.
The two-day street fair unfolds Saturday, September 19, and Sunday, September 20, 2026, filling the open-air plaza with music, food, and family activities meant to recreate the feel of a traditional Italian street festival.
