Riverplex at Sandcastle hosted the Irish and Festa Italiana festival the past two weekends. Both festivals different in many ways, but both packed with tons of fun!

The Irish Festival was packed with fun entertainment, authentic irish food, children activities, irish marketplace and exciting musical acts. My personal favorite was the Irish dog tent- where you can see and learn about breeds that orginated in Ireland.

Festa Italiana was filled with lots of delicious Italian food as well as many local favorite musical acts. Italian gifts and clothing were on diplay and on sale for anyone wanting to support or sport their culture. Even though the weather was not in our favor on Friday and Saturday it was still a wonderful time. Everything was under tents. My favorite part of the festival was the gelato. Yum.

We have one more festival next weekend- the International taste of Pittsburgh. It will be a mixture of many different cultural food, entertainment and fun. Come on down and join us for the International Taste of Pittsburgh.
