Festa Italiana Comes To Carlsbad

by The Editors on July 1, 2007

For the past tow years the Festa Italiana was held in Cardiff, but now The Sons of Italy in America (La Costa dei Fiori) Lodge of Encinitas has moved their “all-Italian” July 7 event to the Island Shopping Center at 5814 Van Allen Way.

Carlsbad resident Frank Mangio, chairman of the event, estimated that about 1,000 people attended the festa last year. . . The all-Italian event will feature Sicilian folk dancers, instrumental music, arts and crafts, European art and photography, information about bocce ball and more than 25 vendors selling Italian items such as authentic Venetian masks and Vespa scooters.

Festa Italiana runs July 7, 2007 from noon to 5 PM for more information contact Frank Mangio at (760) 632-1199.
