“It is will great regret that we announce that the 2021 Italian Feast is CANCELED.  The cases of COVID-19 are on the rise and there is a relatively low rate of people vaccinated in the county. We have always put the safety of our members, vendors and visitors as our top priority. We feel that this is the correct decision to make. I can’t tell you how disappointed we are to not host this event.  We hope that next year this pandemic will all be behind us and we can all enjoy the Feast , mask free.”
