Tipton, Pennsylvania – If you enjoy delicious Italian food and great Italian music, it’s time to pull out your Red, White & Green and join the DelGrosso Family on Sunday, September 20, for the 36th Annual Italian Food & Heritage Festival.

“We are proud of our family heritage and traditions. If there is one thing Italians love, it’s good food. This annual showcase of food, family, and fun is a celebration we look forward to every year,” says Carl Crider Jr., President of DelGrosso’s Park.
