16th Annual Sons of Italy Italian Festival

October 10th 2009 at 6:05 PM

The Sons of Italy kicked off their 16th Annual Italian Festival Saturday morning at Broadway at the Beach.

The annual festival features Italian food such as meatball subs, Italian sausage sandwiches, ravioli, and Italian desserts.  Besides food vendors, the festival featured arts & craft vendors, a children's craft area, and live music, including a performance by Elvis from Legends In Concert.

A brief thunderstorm late in the afternoon had several vendors close their booths early but the festival continues tomorrow, starting at 11 a.m.

Stop by tomorrow and support the Sons of Italy lodge and enjoy some great Italian food!

GrandStrandOnline.com will be at the festival again tomorrow.  Stop by our booth to sign up for free movie tickets to the Grand 14 Theater and a gift certificate to Isle of Candles in Pawleys Island.  We'll also have a free ring toss game set up for children eight & younger.
