Ulster County Italian Festival

Description

The Ulster County Italian American Foundation is presenting the 3rd Annual Italian Festival on the Kingston Waterfront Sunday October 8th, 2017 from 11am until 7pm. At this free admission Festival, there will be a large variety of Italian foods, beverages, products, music, including our headliner Steven Maglio with the Michael Dell Orchestra, and family fun! The Foundation is a 501c(3) not for profit organization, established in July 2015, whose mission is to promote, preserve and celebrate the Italian heritage and culture in Ulster County and beyond. At the Opening Ceremony the Italian American Foundation will recognize the Italian Signora and Signore of the Year given to recipients based on their community service and selfless volunteering to assist those in need throughout the Ulster County Region. 2017’s Signora and Signore of the year are Anna Brett, a Kingston resident and active volunteer who held significant administrative positions with the Kingston City School District; and Vince DeLuca, longtime Kingston resident and businessman who is a great supporter of Kingston youth sports. Also, the reigning Miss Italy NY will be present to meet and greet festival goers. The proceeds from the Italian American Festival will be used to continue the UCIAF Scholarship Fund for graduating Italian American High School seniors in Ulster County who exemplify the values and vision of the Foundation in their community.
