Everything kicks off as soon as the festival opens Saturday, September 25, with the North Brunswick High School Marching Band at Il Palcoscenico Principale (Main Stage) at 10 a.m. Then the band will march through the festival to Il Palcoscenico Secondo (Second Stage) at the other end of Cross Creek Commons to continue to perform. Main Stage acts include the US Marine Corps Second Marine Division Band from Camp Lejeune, the Rock 'n' Roll stylings of The Time Banditsand The Used to Be's as well as the classic standards of the Wilmington Big Band and Brunswick Big Band. Solo act Jeff Fortunato rounds out the Main Stage performances. The Second Stage features some classic Italian singing by Canitamo Italiano and martial arts demonstrations by the kids of King Tiger Taekwando.
