Columbus Italian Festival
October 10 @ 5:00 pm – October 12 @ 7:00 pm
The Columbus Italian Festival is held on the grounds of St. John The Baptist Italian Catholic Church each year on Columbus Day weekend. It is a celebration of Italian culture.

The Columbus Italian Festival celebrates all things Italian – especially food – with a prevue dinner dance at The Berwick on the Monday before the festival weekend.
The festival then kicks off on Friday. Visitors can see demonstrations of Italian cookery. There is a Bocce Ball tournament (application forms available online), and a Parade.
Rides and family-friendly activities will be available all weekend long.
There are two stages with Italian music artists performing for most of the opening hours of the festival.
Festival Hours:
- Friday: 5 pm – 11 pm
- Saturday: Noon – 11 pm
- Sunday: Noon – 7 pm
