The festival presents a truly wide variety of food and family-oriented  activities each year, for both children and adults, representing the rich diversity and inclusiveness of the Rochester area's 150 year-old  Little Italy Historic District.  The event has included bounce houses,  carnival rides and games for kids, bocce, wine-tastings, cooking  demonstrations, and even a very fun spaghetti eating contest each year, and it  offers attendees much more than an Italian festival -- making the Little  Italy Fest one of Rochester's most popular "neighborhood  celebrations!"

The festival acts as a vital part of the exciting effort to commemorate and  revitalize Rochester's 150 year-old Little Italy Historic District and the Lyell Avenue/Jay Street Corridors.  By helping bring people and neighborhood activity to Downtown Rochester, and to this long-neglected neighborhood area, the festival plays an important part in the overall effort to change the "perception" of the area, and help make it safe,  attractive and welcoming to all once again; and it serves as a catalyst to our efforts to bring change, and transform the area into a sustainable 21st Century urban neighborhood and Community Benefit District.
