Tradition Square to Become Port St Lucie’s Little Italy
January 27, 28 and 29th
Port St. Lucie, FL – Get ready for Tradition Square to become Port St Lucie’s Little Italy. The Taste of Little Italy presented by Ft Pierce Nissan returns on January 27th, 28th and 29th, 2012. This three – day cultural celebration culminates into a large Italian street festival showcasing favorite Italian food, music, art and much more!
In its fifth year many of the Taste favorites are back along with some new additions. The Taste will include the Banfi Wine seminars, Street Painting, Festival Rides, Games, Villa Marzia Limon Cello Bar and the Budweiser Piazza.
Vendors will be lined up around the square, serving up some of your favorite dishes just like Grandma used to make. Festival goers can stroll through the streets and enjoy vendors showcasing jewelry, art, clothing, Italian novelties and cookware. The Taste will also include the Little Smiles Kids, a Bocce Ball Court and much more.
One can’t help but feel the excitement that surrounds the Taste of Little Italy when discussing the festival with Jerry Somma, the event producer,” It’s not about a street in New York, Chicago, Boston or other cities, it’s about what the neighborhood represents, the place where our ancestors first migrated, stayed together, worked, shopped, raised their children and began their journey to obtain the American Dream,” Somma explained. ‘Italian culture represents and reflects the foundation of our Grandparents and Parents as they brought these values with them to this country with their love of family, a love for celebrating life and a work ethic to achieve their dreams”, he concluded.
The Taste of Little Italy is a place where the entire family can enjoy Italy without ever leaving their neighborhood. So, mark your calendars and come out to hear all of the great music, smell the Italian aromas, taste the authentic food, and see why the Taste of Little Italy is the place to be January 27-29, 2012.
