Second Annual Cape Fear
Italian Festival. The outdoor celebration is scheduled for Saturday, September 25

Last year, despite a rainout just hours into day one, an estimated 6,000 people attended the festival, including US Supreme Court Associate Justice Samuel Alito, to enjoy food, vendors, games, music and other entertainment. Sponsorship, admission and proceeds from raffles at the festival allowed the Cape Fear Italian Festival to donate $3,000 for scholarships for students at Brunswick Community College. This year, the festival will be bigger and even better. We've expanded the size of the festival, which will give us more room for more of... well... everything! And hopefully that means even more money for the BCC Foundation to help students.
The
festival is hosted by the Cape Fear Italian Festival,
Inc. , a not-for-profit coporation aimed at sharing the
rich traditions of Italian-American culture and heritage with our
community. Executive committee members Frank Bullara and Mike Forte have
been lining up sponsors and vendors.
