***Entertainment Highlight***
The Russo Brothers, Nick and Dominic, deliver a high energy, entertaining show that blends modern, upbeat arrangements of classics made famous by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Louis Prima with beloved Italian favorites that keep audiences singing along.

Raised just outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, these Italian American brothers debuted their first show at Milwaukee's Festa Italiana in 1999. What began as two brothers sharing their love of music has grown into a dynamic band featuring talented musicians, original arrangements, and an energetic stage show. Their crowd pleasing performances have made them a Festa favorite for more than 25 years and have led to appearances at Italian festivals and events across the country.

Nick serves as the musical director, playing piano, singing, and creating the band's signature arrangements, while Dominic brings charisma, humor, and audience engagement to every performance. Backed by outstanding musicians, the Russo Brothers combine unique arrangements, tight harmonies, and genuine brotherly banter to create an unforgettable show that will leave audiences singing, laughing, and smiling long after the final encore.

The Russo Brothers put on a show that's guaranteed to bring out your inner Italian and leave you with a big Italian smile!

Throwback Thursday! One of the many reasons we now have Festa Italiana.

Before there was a festival lakefront, there were the vibrant Italian religious society processions filling the streets of the Third Ward in the 1950s.

OnMilwaukee featured some of these historic moments.

"These Italian religious society processions were the precursors of Festa Italiana and they wound their way through the streets of the Third Ward, which was a residential neighborhood. In this photo, you can see the Holiday House, on the corner of Clybourn and Van Buren."

Grab a cannoli, a glass of vino, find a spot by the water, and get ready for booming louder than everyone talking over each other at Nonna's Sunday dinner!
