There are so many wonderful cultural experiences waiting for you to enjoy at this year’s “Ilio DiPaolo Italian Heritage” tent and our main Piazza.

This beautifully recreated Italian Piazza features Roman Columns, fountains, tables and chairs adorned with red, green and white umbrellas. Relax on our park benches while people watching or catching “La dolce Vita”, just like they do in Italy!

Take a photo by our authentic 100- year old Venetian gondola or in front of our giant Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Don’t forget the ever popular Sicilian puppet shows that the kids will sure to love along with face paintings. Every day at our “Centro Bambini” we will have crafts just for kids!

One of our most popular traditions is our “Grape Stomping” which takes palace four times daily. Another festival tradition is the St. Anthony’s statue for devotes which started back when the first Italian immigrants arrived in Buffalo.

Learn about your genealogy, hosted by our genealogist researchers or just sit back and enjoy our strolling musicians. Whether it’s cultural displays and presentations along with a pictorial stroll of our Italian festival through the years. It’s all here waiting for you!

Bring the entire family to Buffalo’s beautiful water-front and discover the wonderful culture and heritage of the great Italian people.

BUFFALO ITALIANHERITAGE FESTIVAL

Benvenuti and Welcome Family & Friends to the Galbani Italian Heritage Festival of Buffalo New York

We want you to be a part of the excitement during our second year at this wonderful family friendly venue on Buffalo’s beautiful historic Outer Harbor.

This year we have so many new and exciting features that we know you will enjoy. Our newly designed layout includes vendor booths that are positioned around the perimeter, creating a center “Piazza” with fountains and seating. All parking will now be close to the festival grounds. A new highlight will be an awe inspiring, world class Firework Display with an Italian ending like never seen before

We invite you to take in the sights, sounds, aromas and delicacies of Italy. All of your favorite Italian and Italian-American foods and entertainment is waiting right here for you. Come on down and “stomp the grapes”, old world style; find out about your roots with our genealogists, create Italian themed crafts in our Centro Bambini, learn fabulous Italian recipes in our Galbani Village and so much more.

Talk about entertainment! Our national acts this year are spectacular, as we welcome back America’s Got Talent’s star Sal Valentinetti and orchestra; Frankie Valli cover band Lights Out, Franco Corso and many other amazingly talented acts.

The Italian Heritage Festival is a Buffalo summertime tradition for all to enjoy, so bring the family. Special thanks to all of our dedicated sponsors, vendors and of course you, our guests. You are family, so join us as together we will make this year’s festival our best ever!
