Italian Street Festival is next weekend


Indianapolis' summer ethnic festival season kicks off Friday and Saturday with the 24th annual Italian Street Festival.

Food is the star here, with more than 25 different Italian meats, pastas, salads and desserts on sale. Admission is free.

There will be live music and dancing, and games for everyone.

Hours both days are 5-11 p.m. The place is the corner of East and Stevens street (on the near southside of Indianapolis). It's sponsored by Holy Rosary Roman Catholic Church with the assistance of the Italian Heritage Society of Indiana.

On Saturday (9 June), there will be a mass at 4:30 p.m. in the church. A colorful, traditionally Italian religious procession takes place at 6:45 p.m. and is followed by a second mass at 7 p.m. The Catholic Choir of Indianapolis will be singing at both masses.
