All Things Italian Art Walk
This year’s All Things Italian Street Festival and 1st Fridays Art Walk was a wonderful success. Four to five thousand festival-goers enjoyed over 900 lasagna dinners and over 1800 freshly-filled cannoli. Over twenty local artists participated in a all day seminar at Icon Gallery with master Madonnaro Nedo Consoli, 30 year head of Associazione Madonnari d’Italia who was flown in from Venice for the festival. Bocce, sustainability bikes, cultural exhibits, pasta demonstrations and outdoor cafes kept the crowd entertained throughout the evening. The night culminated with $1000 in prizes drawn by the Iowa Lottery, a crowd-pleasing rendition of That’s Amore and an after-festival performance by local Beatles tribute band “Yellow Submarine”. Fairfield is still buzzing from the great times enjoyed by all at All Things Italian.
