Get a taste of the old country at the 10th-annual CincItalia Festival — a celebration of Italian cuisine, wine, music and culture.
Things kick off with an adults-only carnevale on Friday with live music from The Rusty Griswolds and assorted games of chance.
Things get family-friendly the rest of the weekend with rides and games, Italian cooking demos, Italian trivia contests and live music from acts including Italian tenor Elio Scaccio. It wouldn’t be an Italian fest without food, and there will be plenty — lasagna, spiedini, arrosticini, bruschetta, fried ravioli, stromboli, cavatelli, sausage, gelato, tiramisu, limoncello cake, cannoli (homemade by the La Societa Fuscaldese Femminile) and cookies.
Visit the wine garden for Bolla wines.
6 p.m.-midnight Friday (May 31); 3-11 p.m. Saturday (June 1); 1-9 p.m. Sunday (June 2). Free. Harvest Home Park, 3961 North Bend Road, Cheviot, cincitalia.org.
