This is the Hershey History Center’s Annual Heritage Festival and part of the 28th Annual Preservation in Progress celebration.

​

La Festa Italiana is HHC’s annual heritage festival, when we celebrate the families, businesses, and places that represent the rich history of Hershey’s Italian community. We hope you will gather friends and family to celebrate this fun-filled evening with us. Your support helps the museum to continue its mission to preserve local history; one which values our treasured Italian American heritage.  

​

Each year focuses on a specific theme which reflects a narrative of food, music, and culture. This year the menu will be a five-course dinner from Vicki Caloiero‘s cookbook, La Cucina di Nonna, featuring Parmigiana di Melanzane. Earlier in the day, guests can participate in a cooking class (adults only) making homemade pasta. The cooking class and the dinner take place at the Hershey History Center.
