Mark your calendars! Festa Italiana SLC is returning to The Gateway in downtown Salt Lake City on September 16-17, 2023. The festival will be open on Saturday from 12-10 p.m., and Sunday from 12-7 p.m. Hosted by the Italian-American Civic League of Utah (IACL), this year’s eighth annual Festa Italiana promises to deliver an authentic Italian street festival experience right in downtown Salt Lake.

Last year the festival drew in over 40,000 enthusiastic attendees, ready to celebrate all things Italian. Admission is free, and a portion of the proceeds will support Catholic Community Services. Indulge your senses with offerings from more than a dozen local Italian restaurants, serving up their unique and authentic dishes.
