The Hilton Head Italian Heritage Festival will be held Saturday, Oct. 18, 11 am – 4 pm, at The Coastal Discovery Museum at Honey Horn – rain or shine. The Festival is a robust celebration of Italian culture with food and live entertainment. The crowd-pleasing grape stomping contest will return as will the pizza eating contest and a full slate of activities for locals, visitors, and kids. Booths will be dedicated to traditional Italian foods – many sponsored by local restaurants. A silent auction will feature an extensive selection of gift certificates to golf foursomes at our world-famous courses, area restaurants, boat cruises, spa visits, and of course, gift baskets, and a wide range of gifts and artworks on which to bid. www.iachh.org/italian-heritage-festival.
