Children's
Activities
at the Italian Festival
The emphasis
that Italian-Americans, and Italian immigrants in general,
place upon "family" means that any festival
based on a love of "All Things Italian" is
going to be very kid-friendly in just about every aspect.
Everywhere you look there's
food, music and colorful dancing. (We only ask that
they don't go in the Wine and Beer Gardens!) Nevertheless,
there are some activities at the Italian Festival that
have been specifically designed for the younger set.
These include:
| The
Carter Family Marionettes from the NW
Puppet Center present their version of the
children's classic "The Enchanted Castle"
at 1 PM
& 3 PM, Saturday & Sunday, September 29
& 30
on the Festa Kidstage outdoors in the
Seattle Center Pavilion Courtyard.
