Lasagna, homemade paninis and traditional grape stomping return to Southeast Portland this weekend as the Italian Festival of Portland (OR) sets up at St. Philip Neri Catholic Church for its two-day run on Saturday, August 22, and Sunday, August 23.
Organizers describe the gathering as a celebration of Italian food, music and family, and this year it comes with a catch: tickets are limited, and the church is urging people to buy ahead rather than risk getting shut out at the gate.
