While the "Little Italy" of Louisville is long gone, the Jeffersonville Italian Festival 2010 is designed to recreate the feel of a traditional Italian Street festival common to Italian neighborhoods by featuring authentic Italian food and pastries prepared by local Italian restaurants and a focus on the family, just like it used to be in the old days back in Little Italy.
Project Audience: Previous Italian festivals in the Louisville-metro area attracted visitors from 6 counties in southern Indiana, 34 counties in Kentucky, and six states.
