Even people without an ounce of Italian blood in their bodies can feel like they've just stepped off the boat from Milan on Sunday, June 26, when Club Italia in Niagara Falls hosts its Festa Italia Celebration.

The day-long event is a celebration of all things Italian, the country famous for its rich culture, fashion, exotic sports cars and of course mouth-watering food.

It's the first time the popular summer event has been held as a full in-person gathering since 2019, with the previous two years disrupted by the pandemic.
