In 1991 several local Italian Clubs in the Portland area decided to form Festa Italiana. The Festa was created to celebrate Italian American culture. Thousands of people have attended the 3 day Festa each year, enjoying Food from local Italian restaurants, Music from Italy and the USA. We also have a Opera by Portland State University Opera.
Over the years we have started off a Festa Week with a Mass in Italian, Bocce Tournament, Italian Film night all leading up to the Festa which was held (previously) in Pioneer Courthouse Square. Children have enjoyed bocce, a marionette show, face painting and Pizza Toss. We have also had several contests including a Cannoli Eating Contest and Grape Stomp.
This year after a few years off we are bringing back the Festa for a 1 day event in beautiful Cedarville Park. Next year we are planning our 30th celebration.
