Festa Italiana SLC
experience the tastes, sounds, and culture of Italy.
Welcome to the website for Festa Italiana SLC! 2022 marked our seventh and biggest year to date with over 50k guests that enjoyed the surroundings of beautiful downtown Salt Lake City while exploring the culture, entertainment, and culinary diversity of Italy.
Festa Italiana SLC is Salt Lake City’s own Italian Street Festival where you can experience the tastes, sounds, and culture of Italy. Through our unique offering of 15 authentic Italian Restaurants from around the Salt Lake Valley and wine hand-selected from Italy patrons can experience the Italian culinary experience all while being entertained by the art and music of Italy. Live music is on tap both days at the festival culminating with our headlining bands.
In years past the people of Salt Lake City have been treated to Ricci Martin (son of Dean Martin), Marco Calliari Band from Montreal, Canada, Etnosound from Calabria, Italy, and Tributo Italiano from Venice, Italy.
Festa Italiana SLC is a non-profit, Italian festival in Salt Lake City. Two 501(c)3 organizations, the Italian American Civic League and Italian Club of Salt Lake host the event. Proceeds from the festival will support local and national non-profit charitable organizations supported by the Italian-American Civic League of Utah.
This year’s proceeds will be contributed to Catholic Community Services to support their homeless and refugee outreach services.
