Kenosha Italian Fest will return to Celebration Place on the Lake Michigan lakefront September 18 through 20, with organizers promising a bigger second-year celebration featuring more authentic Italian food, expanded entertainment, cultural experiences and a redesigned festival layout.
The Italian American Society of Kenosha launched the festival in 2025 and said thousands of people attended its inaugural year. Organizers said feedback from guests, volunteers, sponsors and vendors helped shape this year’s event.
