Join us for our 30th year celebrating Italian Heritage. We will celebrate not just with food and drink, but with Live Music and history. Live Italian music will be performed by entertainers from around the nation and from "the old country." Elite performers for the whole weekend include the Pete Wagner Big Band, the Four C Notes, Moreno Fruzzetti, Louis Prima Jr. and the Witnesses as well as local favorites Joey Said No and the Naked Karate Girls.Italianfest has evolved from a rather modest event with only five food
vendors and 5,000 visitors into one of the region's liveliest and family-oriented festivals. Over 120,000 visitors are expected to attend.
This year it will again be held on Riverboat Row between the Taylor-Southgate and the Purple People Bridges (below Newport on the Levee/Aquarium).
You can enjoy many internationally recognized Italian and other local
musicians while taking in the sites along Newport’s riverfront. Many of the area’s most popular Italian restaurants and vendors provide authentic Italian cuisine and the children are entertained with all-day inflatables and games. One of the most popular aspects of the event is the display of historic photographs of the Italian families who settled in our community.
Admission is free.
