Greater Youngstown Italian Fest — Local services in Youngstown

Disappointed type in search engine free things to do near me today. And the Italian festival came up as the number 1 choice on list. I click the link that said it was number 1. On site it said that there were over 50 different food vendors and blocks of craft vendors. Exciting games to play. Well it wasn't free had to pay for street parking and pay to get in. we did see a lot of food vendors pizza, bq rib guy, ice cream, subs. ton of lemonade stands every few feet there was lemonade stand. We saw 3 craft vendors Lady selling lamps, other vendor selling honey, other vendor selling shirts, a tent with auction. A large stage people singing. I heard other people commenting that this festival was not as good as in past years. This was first time I was there so I can't compare it to any...

The lack of restrooms and seating areas to eat was about rediculas for the price of entry and the amount of people there, I had to wait in line for the only 2 they had and then I had to eat on the curb because I couldn't find a seat!!! If this was a restaurant it would have been over compacity and fined... Otherwise it's just all food vendors that charge you way over priced but thats as to be expected... what food I had was terrible and at $9 for just a fry. I was also warned to stay away from other places by random people,not just once thought that was weird??? STEP UP YOUR GAME...

Very nice, authentic Italian businesses represented. It was small and more intimate than Italian Fests in the Cincinnati Area. Also got to be a part of this fest, representing the upcoming TV...
