Get ready to don your stretchy pants and warm your vocal cords—Ulster County’s Italian Fest is back, and it’s bringing the full buffet of flavor, flair, and family fun to Kingston’s waterfront. From noon to 8 pm, the T.R. Gallo Park will pulse with live music (flamenco, opera, Italian-American standards), street performers, cooking demos, and that ever-glorious spaghetti-eating contest.
Wander through booths overflowing with imported specialty foods, handmade crafts, and gifts. Sip espresso or limoncello, catch a cultural talk in the Maritime Barn, or let the kids loose with family-friendly surprises.
Admission is free—so bring your appetite, your curiosity, and maybe an extra napkin or two. In Kingston this Sunday, it’s not just a festival—it’s a full-on Italian immersion.
