From the late 1800s to about the 1950s, this area was a hub for Italian immigrants to settle and establish their families. It soon became Chicago\u2019s \u201cOfficial\u201d Little Italy. Chicago\u2019s Little Italy Festa-Taylor Street celebrates the great history of the neighborhood and the rich culture of the generations of Italians who settled there decades ago. Fabulous food from award-winning area restaurants, several stages of continuous family entertainment, quality merchandise from Italy, and colorful cultural attractions make this event one of the most popular of the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by Ron Onesti (who was born on Taylor Street) of Onesti Entertainment, Owner of The Arcada Theatre in St. Charles and the Des Plaines Theatre. The festival is a weekend celebrating Italian culture, cuisine and class. Chosen by the Taylor Street neighborhood, Ron will represent the Italian-American community and immerse guests in an authentic Italian experience. As colors of green, white and red parade the streets, festival-goers will experience the taste and feel of Italy on the same streets that Ron\u2019s grandparents settled on in 1911.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Join us August 14-17!
