Festa Italiana Foundation of Washington, DC

The Festa Italiana Foundation of Washington, DC is a private cultural organization that works to promote Italian culture and tradition in the metropolitan Washington area, primarily through the organization's main event, Festa Italiana.

The Festa Italiana -- which began in 1999 -- is an annual street festival in the tradition of the storied festivals of cities such as New York, Milwaukee, Chicago and Baltimore. Festa Italiana features authentic Italian and Italian-American cuisine, live music, dancing, art, crafts and much more.

Formed by three of Washington's major Italian-American community organizations -- FIERI-DC, Holy Rosary Church and the Italian Cultural Society, the Festa Italiana is a great way for the Italian-American community to come together. In doing so, we ensure the preservation and promotion of Italian and Italo-American history and culture, which is an important part of the cultural fabric of the United States.
