The Greater Rockford Italian American Association (GRIAA) will be hosting the 45th annual Festa Italiana August 2nd, 3rd & 4th 2024. GRIAA is a non-profit organization staffed solely by volunteers, and promotes the Italian Culture through social events, works of charity, and educational activities throughout the community.
Festa Italiana is one of the largest festivals in Rockford and the surrounding areas. For one very special weekend each year, everyone who passes through our gates is an “Honorary Italian.”
