Kids and adults alike will enjoy the tiny hotdogs from Little Italy’s newest restaurant, “Dinky Dogs”.
Richard DiCristofaro is this year’s emcee; feature band is the ever popular Capri on the main stage. The Resewrecks will have a return engagement on Cornell’s Patio. Little Italy’s resident Frank Sinatra impersonator, Frank Marchitto will be on hand to sing a few of Frank’s favorites.
A special appearance by rising star Anthony LaBarbera will delight audiences young and old. Anthony, a high school senior from Mohawk, NY, has been entertaining since he was 5 years old. His repertoire includes selections from the Rat Pack, Bobby Darin, The Beatles, Elvis, Dion and the Belmonts, Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago and Billy Joel.
The American Italian Heritage Museum and the Italian Cultural Center will bring the language and history of the Italy to the fest.
