Join us for Kenosha Italian Fest 2025—a vibrant weekend celebrating heritage, family, and tradition on the beautiful lakefront! Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 20th and Sunday, September 21st at Celebration Place.
The festivities begin Saturday at noon with our Kenoshan's of Italian Descent and Friends Parade! Gather east of the Kenosha Public Museum and march with us, accompanied by a lively brass band and authentic Italian dancers. We’ll proudly walk under banners bearing our Italian family names, winding our way through downtown, around Calabria Way, and along the lakeside path back to the festival grounds.
Once the parade ends, the fun is just beginning! Enjoy live entertainment under spacious tents, savor delicious Italian food and drinks, play games, explore historical displays, and enter our raffle for a chance at cash prizes. As the sun sets, don’t miss the stunning boat regatta—boats decked out in Italian flags lighting up the harbor.
Sunday morning starts with an outdoor mass, followed by another round of music, food, and festivities lasting into the afternoon.
Kenosha Italian Fest isn’t just an event—it’s a heartfelt tribute to the legacy of the Italian American community in Kenosha. Since 1923, the Kenosha Italian American Society has fostered civic pride and cultural connection, helping generations thrive in our city. This year, we honor that legacy and invite you to celebrate the many ways Italian Americans have shaped Kenosha’s story.
Local business and family sponsors make this celebration possible. Interested in supporting the festival? Sponsorship details are available—just ask!
