The Italian Festival in Kingston, New York, is a vibrant celebration of Italian culture. Organized by the Italian American Foundation, the festival on the picturesque Kingston waterfront in Ulster County aims to celebrate and preserve Italian heritage, featuring an array of Italian food vendors offering everything from sausage and peppers, meatballs, pizza, and calzones, to mac and cheese, cannoli, espresso, and fried dough. In addition to the Italian delicacies, the festival will cater to diverse tastes with food trucks serving Jamaican, Mexican, and other cuisines. Local restaurants like Mariners Harbor and Savona’s Pizza also join the festivities.
The festival is not just be about food; there’s an impressive lineup of entertainment and fun activities. Visitors enjoyed performances by opera singer Andrew Holben, the jazz quartet Leonisa Ardizon, the flamenco Italiano band Vince Chiarelli, and a tribute to the Rat Pack by Michael Dell. The headliner for the event was Louis Prima Jr. and the Witnesses, ensuring an upbeat and lively atmosphere. Additionally, a second stage featured artists from O Positive, showcasing a variety of music genres including Portuguese and Brazilian folk, West African, Mexican folk, and jazz.
