Italian Heritage Festival

They gave us cannoli. They gave us marinara. They even gave us St. Joseph's Altars, which are basically piles of beautifully arranged, scrumptious food. So how can we pass up an Italian heritage fest, where these culinary delights will surely be on the menu? This fest returns to Kenner's historic Rivertown for its twentieth year, with live music, local crafters, Italian food and seafood specialties, a historic photo display, St. Joseph’s Altar, and opportunities to talk with genealogical specialists. Onstage, bands include the Molly Ringwalds, Lena Prima, the Chee Weez, and the Victory Belles. italianheritagefestival.com.
