This is the first time in five long years the festival will be happening.

The announcement was just made on Facebook on Monday (January 27, 2025).

This was an extremely popular event for many, many years.

The festival celebrated its 20th year in 2019

In 2019, the festival celebrated its 20th anniversary.

Then in 2020, well you know what happened...the COVID-19 pandemic.

It had been postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic

So many wonderful events were forced to be canceled or postponed, including the Mercer County Italian American Festival.

But, it couldn't be kept down for too long, and now it's back.

Save the date now because you're not going to want to miss it.

In the past, there have been Wine Gardens. Hopefully, they'll be making a comeback (or something similar) this year.
