ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE BOARD OF THE FESTA ITALIANA ASSOCIATION

​

FESTA ITALIANA POSTPONED UNTIL SUMMER 2027

July 12, 2026

​

To our many friends and supporters:

The board members of the Festa Italiana Association (“Festa Italiana”) want to thank you for more than 30 years of support. We regret to announce that we will not be holding the Festa Italiana in 2026. 

​

But fear not, we will be coming back bigger and better than ever in Summer 2027 with a new venue and even more of the food, music, and fun you have enjoyed over the years.

​

Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that a group operating under the name Italian Festival of Portland has recently started promoting its Italian festival at St. Philip Neri using our registered assumed business name, “Festa Italiana”, as well as a name very close to ours, “Festa Italia.” 

In addition, on the festival’s homepage there are social media links at the top of the page that link the viewer to our Festa Italiana Facebook page, our Instagram page, and to a YouTube website with material related to our Festa.

​

We generally support every Italian and Italian American cultural event in Portland. However, we felt the need to speak out so that there is no misunderstanding about who is putting on this festival. We also want to protect our name and reputation from use by anyone without our permission.

​

Thank you for your consideration of our announcement, and we look forward to seeing you all in the Summer of 2027.

​
