Festival participants can experience Italian culture in the heart of Houston as the campus is transformed into the sights and sounds of Italy. The grounds of the Campus Life Mall and the Academic Mall will be lined with booths of authentic homemade foods such as, baked ziti, meatball sandwiches and an array of desserts including sfingi (Italian donuts), cucciadate (fig cookie), cannoli and gelato.
The educational stage will feature marionette puppet shows, mosaic tile demonstrations and a lecture on the best “out of the way” places to visit while travelling in Italy. The Culinary/Tasting Stage will feature seminars about wines, olive oils and other tastes of Italy. On the Academic Mall kids of all ages will enjoy the rock wall and mechanical bull while exhibitors will proudly display their wares for sale.
Guest will enjoy the finest wines of Italy as they browse the Village Market. Imported Italian seeds, pottery, community cookbooks, and a variety of Italian cooking products will also be for sale.
Entertainment throughout the weekend will be provided by local performers complete with an Italian American Idolcontest held on Saturday on the Main Stage.
Festa Italiana happens rain or shine.
