When you think of Memphis, you probably think of country singers and
Beale Street, but I bet you don't think Italian, even if you should. The
Memphis Italian Festival is a celebration of the values of faith, family and fellowship in the Italian-American tradition. There are music, arts, crafts, games and events all centered around the spaghetti gravy cooking contest.
The Memphis Italian Festival is held at Marquette Park and you are invited to bring a lawn chair, but please do not bring pets, coolers, bikes or skates. There is free parking and a shuttle bus for your convenience.
