Festa Italiana Thursday Night

Opening Night- Our 20th Festa Italiana kicked off Thursday with some great entertainment.

The young Opera singers were fantastic...............where do they get those voices? John English

 and Moreno Fruzzetti sang Italian American and some great Italian classics.  New to the

Festa this year was Diamanti, a 5 piece band from Chicago. They did a great job getting

the crowd up and dancing.  Ray Massa's EuroRhythms were back by popular demand and ended

the night with a full dance floor of people.  Thanks to all our entertainers and volunteers!  We

hope to see everyone Friday and Saturday.

John English was smooth as Sinatra and a crowd favorite.
