Festa Italiana

Festa Italiana Hawaii is a community program established by the Friends of Italy Society of Hawaii, a non-profit organization whose mission is to fostering friendship among the residents of Hawaii with an Italian background or with a special interest for Italian culture, traditions and history, as well as promoting a better understanding of Italian traditions.

Hawaii is a melting pot of cultures from around the world and despite being directly across the globe from Italy, the Aloha State is home to a respectable number of Italian citizens and Italian-Americans, not to mention thousands of general Italian (food + wine) enthusiasts.

The Festa Italiana is our effort to provide Hawaii with a unique, immersive experience into the Italian culture through partnerships with local restaurants, vendors, artists, musicians and more who share a common love for Italy.
