Taylor Street Little Italy Festa

Food Festivals Italian

What’s Happening?

The sweet aroma of roasted garlic and grilled Italian sausage will fill the air in Chicago's "Original" Little Italy as The Taylor Street Little Italy Festa returns Thursday, August 8 thru Sunday, August 11, 2024, on Taylor Street between Ashland Avenue and Loomis Street in Chicago.

"Everyone is so excited to come back to the 'Old Neighborhood' for this," said Ron Onesti, producer of the event.  "After a record-breaking attendance in 2023, this classic Chicago Street Festival will once again bring generations-old families and friends back together celebrating the best Italian food and music Chicagoland has to offer."

Steak and rapini sandwiches, Chicken Vesuvio Ravioli, Neapolitan Pizza, Pistachio Cream Cannoli...the list goes on and on!

Five stages of entertainment will include: Always Olivia - A Tribute to Olivia Newton John, "Are you Ready For It?" - Taylor Swift Experience, The Bronx Wanderers from Las Vegas, social media superstar Chris Ruggerio, Tony Ocean, The Jersey Girls, The Chicago Hitmen, Denise Tomasello, Italian dancers and performers from Italy, Sunday Mass on the Main Stage and so much more.  Cultural exhibits, a variety of attractions, children's activities, and Italian merchandise will round-out the experience.   

The traditional Sunday "Morra" contest, the three-thousand year-old hand game that combines number predictions and top-of-the-lungs yelling between two very physical opponents, is truly something to witness in person!

Hours:  Thursday and Friday, 5pm-10pm, Saturday and Sunday, Noon until 10 pm.  Admission is free, but a suggested donation of $10 is requested to help offset the numerous costs it takes to put on the event.  The festival is produced in cooperation with the Little Italy Chicago Neighborhood Association (LICNA).
