Tipton, Pennsylvania – If you enjoy delicious Italian food and fine Italian music, then it’s time to pull out your red, white, & green and join the DelGrosso Family this Sunday, September 22nd, for the 34th Annual Italian Food & Heritage Festival.

“We are proud of our family heritage and traditions. If there is one thing Italians love, it’s good food. This annual showcase of food, family, and fun is a celebration we look forward to every year,” says Carl Crider Jr., President of DelGrosso’s Park.

The Italian Food & Heritage Festival runs from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 22, 2024. The event is sponsored by DelGrosso Foods, Inc., Breezeline, The Lung Disease Foundation of Central PA, Kish Bank, and Gloria Gates Care.

There’s something for every taste bud to enjoy! The Kitchens of DelGrosso will transform Pavilion #2 into an Italian Food Villa with multiple serving stations offering an array of delectable Italian dishes, including Homemade Lasagna, Grilled Chicken Alfredo, and more. Guest favorites such as Italian Wedding Soup and Pasta Fagioli will be available in the Green and White Tent.

For the first time, we are thrilled to welcome Vittorio Di Carlo to our stage! A native of Italy's Apulia region, Vittorio discovered his passion for singing at a young age.

Known as "The Graceful Tenor," Vittorio will perform at 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. on the Main Stage. Guests can also enjoy the sounds of strolling accordionist Edwardo throughout the day.
