The Memphis Italian Festival is a fun family and cultural celebration that is a good time for all. The event includes Italian cooking contests, bocce tournaments, and team traditions among long-standing locals, such as Paisano's, Second Generation Italian Society, and Oliveus.
Admission to all the saucy fun supports the Ronald McDonald House, and after all the competition and grape stomping, the Italian Festival hosts an impressive lineup of musical entertainment.
