October 7 and 8. 5220 North O'Connor Boulevard Irving, TX. The DFW Italians are honored to present the inaugural Italian Heritage & Food Festival, the first of its kind, to the thousands of Italians that call Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex “casa” (home).

The three-day event will also serve as an educational festival to the expected thousands of attending friends and family, from near and far, all eager to learn more of the incredible contributions made by Italians, also from near and far. The vision of the Italian Festival is within three years to evolve the Festival into a recognized statewide food and beverage celebration, while simultaneously preserving the rich Italian traditions and sense of community, embedded in the Italian community.
