🎃🛼 ROLL ON OVER FOR SOME FAMILY-FRIENDLY HALLOWEEN FUN! 💀👻

Grab your skates, round up your crew, and join us for our Halloween Skate Party Fundraiser on Saturday, October 24! 🧡
Costumes not required, but definitely recommended for extra-fun!

For just $10 per skater, you’ll get skate rentals, a skate lesson, AND a raffle ticket! 🎟️

🛼 Not a skater? No problem! Bring your family, friends, and cheering squad along! You can still enjoy the festivities, take part in on-site activities like pumpkin decorating, or try your luck at our raffles - all while helping support a great event — no skates required!

Every bit of support helps, and the more, the merrier! ❤️🇮🇹

📅 Saturday, October 24 | 3–5:30 PM
📍 Community Center at Clute Park, Watkins Glen

Come for the skating, stay for the fun, and help us make a difference!

👻 Tag your skate crew and your non-skating sidekicks! Let's make it a spooktacular afternoon! 🛼🎃

Rev your engines, wh***ey lovers and thrill-seekers! 🏎️💨

Some high-octane excitement hits the streets of Watkins Glen THIS FRIDAY—and you have two ways to win big when you stop at our table outside of Bleachers Bar and Grill from 2:00pm to 8:00pm and show some support for the Italian American Festival's future 🏁✨

🥃 The Bourbon Raffle: The crew at Bleachers was gracious enough to donate a few highly coveted elixirs, meaning three lucky winners will walk away with some pure liquid gold!

💰The 50/50 Raffle: Don't miss the chance to take home half the pot and fuel your own weekend fun!

Best of all? Every single dollar raised goes directly toward fueling our 2027 Festival (Oh yes, you heard that right—we are on for 2027 🎉). Learn more at https://www.wgitalianamericanfestival.com

Can't wait to see you Friday while you're enjoying the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Festival ! 🏎️🥃💰

The tents are down, the lights are off, and another Italian American Festival is officially in the books.

But before we say Arrivederci....we need to say Grazie 💚 🇮🇹 ❤

To our amazing committee members and volunteers, our vendors and entertainers, and most of all, to the thousands of people who came out to celebrate with us - THANK YOU for making this festival so special. This is more than a festival. It's a tradition built on community, family, friendship, and a whole lot of heart.

From every helping hand, every delicious bite, every song, every laugh, every hug, every familiar face - YOU are the reason we keep doing this. And we're already looking forward to doing it all again in 2027. YES! We ARE having a festival in 2027.

Grazie Mille to those from near and far for being part of our Italian American Festival Family 💚 🇮🇹 ❤
