The Last Festival of Summer- Festa Italia
The last great festival of the summer occurs in River Run Village in Keystone and is known as Festa Italia (12PM - 6PM, Sept. 11).

"Mario the Peddler" message of peace, love and justice has been presented to numerous political and religious leaders around the world including Pope John Paul II. The festival kicks off at 12 PM (noon) on Saturday with the cuisine and wine bar vendors in full swing until 5PM. The first showing of "Mario the Peddler" is from 12-1 PM and admission for children is free and for adults is $5. Throughout the day check out the numerous shops, food vendors and more.
