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.
Tino's Cortile.
In memory of our good friend and avid supporter, Tino
Lazzaretti, the Kids Courtyard at the Italian Festival
has been renamed "Tino's Cortile." In this
small way, Festa seeks to honor his legacy of promoting
education for children, especially children of immigrants,
as a means to fulfillment of "the American Dream."
Sponsored in perpetuity by the Costantino Lazzaretti
Endowment.
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:
- On Saturday, September
25th, the children of Cinquegranelli Montessori
School will sing and dance to Italian songs
on the Moretti Mainstage of the Fisher Pavilion,
11:30 AM.

- The Carter Family
Marionettes from the NW Puppet Center present
a new production of the ancient fable "Love
for Three Oranges" at 1 PM & 3 PM,
Saturday & Sunday, September 25 & 26
in Tino's Cortile outdoors in the Seattle
Center Pavilion Courtyard.
