Attended the Italian festival on Saturday after the rain stopped. As BKQC mentioned, it is not a large scale fest, but we find it an enjoyable way to celebrate Italian heritage, hang out and talk to other Italians, and support a local Catholic parish. Also, the fest provides opportunity for other causes to promote themselves, too, including one of our faves, the Humane Society of York County.
The tubs and tubs and tubs of homemade Italian cookies are really all it takes for this Italian girl (along with the tiramisu and cannoli). If that were all they offered, I would go for that fact alone. It is a festival worthy of support in the hearts and minds of many locals, which is obvious from the large numbers of people in attendance. Based on some of the comments of others, it is not large enough or sophisticated enough for everyone. That's ok. It leaves more cookies for the rest of us.
