Who We Are
Newport Festa Italiana originated as a way to bring together the Italian community to celebrate the accomplishments of Italian-American immigrants and to share all that our Italian heritage has to offer by way of music, food, dance and storytelling. Taking place throughout the City of Newport, Newport Festa Italiana serves as a way to reunite the many Italians of our community and to welcome visitors from around the world.
