Join us September 18, 19 & 20, 2026, at Celebration Place on the beautiful Kenosha lakefront for an unforgettable weekend celebrating Italian heritage, authentic cuisine, live entertainment, and family traditions.

Following an incredible inaugural year, Kenosha Italian Fest is returning with even more to experience. Guests can look forward to a larger Italian American Society food tent, an expanded dessert tent featuring gelato and Italian ice, more authentic Italian food vendors, bocce courts, a Friday Night Opening Mixer, a cigar tent, and an enhanced festival layout designed to create an even better guest experience.

Throughout the weekend, enjoy live music on two stages, cooking demonstrations, the Kenoshans of Italian Descent Parade, the Heritage Tent, fireworks, family activities, and some of the best Italian food in southeastern Wisconsin.

Hosted by the Italian American Society of Kenosha, the festival celebrates the rich Italian heritage that has helped shape our community while creating new memories for generations to come.
