Mayor Sarno states, “I want to thank Charles Becker, Leo Florian and their respective organizations, and all of the benefactors for making this authentic Italian tradition possible. This festival will acknowledge our Italian-American culture, honor our Italian heritage and recognize the tremendous positive impact Italian-Americans have had upon our nation, the Commonwealth and our City of Springfield. As a first generation Italian-American myself, I am looking forward to the live music, good food, and family fun entertainment to honor our Italian heritage.”
