Italian Heritage Parade & Festa Brought La Dolce Vita to the Hill

Hosted by the Hill 2000 Neighborhood Association, the 156th Italian Heritage Parade and Festa took place in St. Louis' Hill neighborhood on Sunday, October 8.

The street festival celebrates the tight-knit Italian community on the Hill and all of the fantastic local businesses in the neighborhood.

The event included a parade, games and food, of course. Local food and beverage vendors were on hand to provide nibbles and refreshments to the throngs of people who crammed into the neighborhood hoping to get a little taste of la dolce vita.

Our photographer Braden McMakin was there to document the scene.
