Festa Italiana Service Hours

The Greater Rockford Italian American Association (GRIAA) will be hosting the 44th annual Festa Italiana Fundraiser August 2nd, 3rd & 4th 2024. GRIAA is a non-profit organization staffed solely by volunteers, and promotes the Italian Culture through social events, works of charity, and educational activities throughout the community.

Our Festival is held on the grounds of Boylan Catholic High School, 4000 St Francis Dr. Rkfd. 61103

We are pleased to offer service hours to schools, churches, or service organizations. We are looking for dependable, cooperative, and responsible young people with a good attitude. Students will be supervised by an adult and we expect them to treat him/her with respect at all times.

Tasks can vary but include setting up tables and chairs, delivering equipment or products to tents, hanging flags, signs, and also serving product once the festival is open.
