This weekend is home to one of my favorite Madison County Traditions - The Italian Fest in the heart of downtown Collinsville.
Every year, folks from all over Madison County (and some from St. Louis, too) pack the streets of downtown Collinsville for a taste of Italy. From traditional favorites like spaghetti and meatballs, to local inventions like toasted ravioli, there is something to please any palette.
The Italian Fest originally started in 1984 as a Columbus Day celebration for downtown business owners. Since then, the yearly treat has expanded to include entertainment, 5k walk-runs, wine making contests and more.
This year's event takes place Friday September 18th - Saturday September 19th.
