If Italian Festivals are what you love .....then you've come to the right place! The Italian people, known for their love of family, food and friends are the foundation and spirit of this festival. Please join us in celebrating the 31st annual Schuyler County Italian American Festival on July 30, 31, and August 1, 2010. As always, the festival will be held at Clute Park, Rt. 414 in Watkins Glen on the southern shore of beautiful Seneca Lake.

Our goal is to offer something for everyone with an emphasis on a ‘family friendly’ experience. For the past two years, in order to assure a safe, enjoyable and relaxing atmosphere, outside alcohol has been prohibited on the festival grounds. Our staff provides a large, comfortable and inviting “beer & wine garden” where alcoholic beverages can be purchased and consumed. The beer garden includes a tent with seating and the entertainment area is very close by and easily viewed from within. The response to the prohibition of alcohol on the grounds has been overwhelmingly favorable and problems experienced in the past have been non-existent. The policy will remain in effect for 2010 as we continue to focus on family fun.
