Grazie di tutto

On behalf of the Little Italy Festival Town Inc. we want to extend our gratitude to the City of Clinton, community organizations, sponsors, members, vendors, grounds crew, past a current royalty and our volunteers for the time and effort to put our festival on.

This festival serves as our primary fundraiser to maintain our historical landmarks. We also thank you for allowing LIFT to continue through every bottle of w**e, food, and souvenir purchased.

We hope you enjoyed our festival grounds, our entertainment, and had a chance to look through our numerous historic locations.

Sixty years of Little Italy Festivals have come and gone. Oh, the stories our grape vine could tell! We hope the Diamond Anniversary will have a special story for you. Grazie di tutto, Clinton! "Baby, you've come a long way!"

🇮🇹🍇 DAY 4 — THAT’S A WRAP! 🍇🇮🇹

What a way to close out the 60th Little Italy Festival!

Day 4 brought one last full day of festival fun — live music, great food, contests, wagon rides, the W**e Garden, family, friends and plenty of memories made all across the grounds!

Four days.
Countless volunteers.
Thousands of visitors.
60 YEARS of tradition. 🇮🇹❤️

Thank you to EVERYONE who came out and celebrated with us this weekend. Whether this was your first Little Italy Festival or a tradition you’ve enjoyed for decades, we’re so glad you were part of it.

Take one last look back at Day 4… and an incredible ending to our 60th Little Italy Festival! 🍇🇮🇹

Until next year, Clinton! ❤️🤍💚

🇮🇹 A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR GROUNDS CREW! 🇮🇹

Festival weekend doesn’t happen without a whole lot of work behind the scenes, and our grounds crew has been at it ALL weekend long!

From keeping things clean and picked up to taking care of everything that comes up throughout the day, these folks have worked incredibly hard to keep our festival grounds looking great for everyone who came out to celebrate with us.

We can’t thank this crew enough for the long hours, hard work, and willingness to jump in wherever they were needed. ❤️

📸 Not everyone is pictured — some of the crew was still out working when we grabbed the photo!

THANK YOU to our grounds crew for everything you did to help make the 60th Little Italy Festival happen! 🇮🇹🍇

🇮🇹🍇 A HUGE GRAZIE TO OUR SPONSORS! 🍇🇮🇹

The 60th Annual Little Italy Festival would simply not be possible without the incredible businesses, organizations, and individuals who choose to support it.

Over the past several weeks, we’ve had the opportunity to highlight many of these amazing sponsors. From financial contributions to donated materials, equipment, food, labor, professional services, and countless hours of time — their support reaches into nearly every part of festival weekend.

When you enjoy the entertainment, visit the W**e Garden, participate in a contest, walk the festival grounds, or simply make another Little Italy memory, our sponsors have helped make it possible.

We encourage you to support the businesses and organizations that support Little Italy. When you see them around town or throughout festival weekend, be sure to tell them GRAZIE!

To every one of our 2026 sponsors — thank you for believing in this festival, investing in our community, and helping us celebrate 60 YEARS of Italian heritage, family, community, and tradition.

We couldn’t do it without you. 🇮🇹🍇
