The Southington Italian-American Festival is seeking vendors of all types for our 2026 festival July 24-26. We have individual booths on the street available and space in our Italian Marketplace. Both opportunities allow you to sell and showcase your products - including food - at a high-traffic, high-visibility venue in our community. Please pm us with contact information!

Mille grazie to our festival sponsors. Many in our local business community have been with us since Day1! Please frequent these companies, and let them know you appreciate their support! We couldn't provide weekend-long free entertainment, free children's activities, a police presence and so much more without the graciousness of our sponsors.

Such a wonderful festival marking our 20th year! Thank you to everyone who attended this event that promotes the Italian heritage and culture that is so predominant in our community. From our sponsors to the vendors and all of the volunteers - it truly takes an abbondanza of supporters to create the electric atmosphere that we felt all weekend! Grazie from the three host organizations: Sons of Italy, UNICO Club of Southington, and Sorelle d'Italia in America! See you next year, folks!
